His Promise to Me

Darkness may o’er­take me

And my song for­sake me

But alone I nev­er shall be;

For the Friend be­side me

Promised He would guide me

And will keep His pro­mise to me.

He will keep his pro­mise to me

All the way with me He will go;

He has nev­er brok­en

Any pro­mise spok­en;

He will keep His pro­mise

I know.

Should mis­for­tune meet me

Friends may fail to greet me

But if true to Je­sus I stay

He will still up­hold me

Let His love en­fold me

Every drea­ry mile of the way.

How the thought en­thralls me

That what­e’er be­falls me

One will al­ways love me the same;

Not a trial ev­er

Causes Him to sev­er

From the ones who hon­or His name.
