68. He Never Has Left Me Alone

1 Since I gave to Jesus my poor broken heart,
He never has left me alone;
Since I for the Homeland eternal did start,
He never has left me alone.

Refrain:
He never has left me alone,
No, He never has left me alone;
By night and by day He is with me alway,
He never has left me alone.

2 Tho’ winding and heavy the road may appear,
He never has left me alone;
The day may be dismal, the night may be drear,
He never has left me alone. [Refrain]

3 When sorrow has taken my heart by surprise,
He never has left me alone;
In tenderness wiping the tears from mine eyes,
He never has left me alone. [Refrain]

4 I’ll tell the whole world as the valley I roam,
He never has left me alone;
I’ll tell it through heaven when I shall reach home,
He never has left me alone; [Refrain]
