4520. Never Alone (White)

1. Lonely? no, not lonely
While Jesus standeth by;
His presence always cheers me;
I know that He is nigh;
Friendless? no, not friendless,
For Jesus is my friend;
I change, but He remaineth
The same unto the end.

Refrain
No, never alone, no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone, no, never alone;
He has promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.

2. Weary? no, not weary
While leaning on His breast;
My soul hath full enjoyment,
’Tis His eternal rest.
Helpless yes, so helpless;
But I am leaning hard
On the mighty arm of Jesus,
And He is keeping guard. [Refrain]

3. Waiting? O yes, waiting;
He bade me watch and wait;
I only wonder often,
What makes my Lord so late.
Joyful? yes, so joyful;
With joy too deep for words;
A precious, sure foundation;
The joy that is my Lord’s. [Refrain]
