Never Alone (Pickett)

I’ve seen the light­ning flash­ing

I’ve heard the thun­der roll.

I’ve felt sin’s break­ers dash­ing

Which al­most con­quered my soul.

I’ve heard the voice of my Sav­ior

Bidding me still to fight on.

He pro­mised nev­er to leave me

Never to leave me alone!

No

nev­er alone

no nev­er alone

He pro­mised nev­er to leave me

He’ll claim me for His own;

No

nev­er alone

no nev­er alone.

He pro­mised nev­er to leave me

Never to leave me alone.

The world’s fierce winds are blow­ing

Temptation sharp and keen.

I have a peace in know­ing

My Sav­ior stands be­tween—

He stands to shield me from dan­ger

When my friends are all gone.

He pro­mised nev­er to leave me

Never to leave me alone!

When in af­flict­ion’s val­ley

I tread the road of care

My Sav­ior helps me car­ry

The cross so hea­vy to bear;

Though all around me is dark­ness

Earthly joys all flown;

My Sav­ior whispers His pro­mise

Never to leave me alone!

He died on Cal­va­ry’s mount­ain

For me they pierc­èd His side.

For me He op­ened that fount­ain

The crim­son

cleans­ing tide.

For me He wait­eth in glo­ry

Seated up­on His throne.

He pro­mised nev­er to leave me

Never to leave me alone!
