Lyrics

Fear not, I am with thee;
Blessèd gold­en ray,
Like a star of glo­ry,
Lighting up my way!
Through the clouds of mid­night,
This bright pro­mise shone,
I will nev­er leave thee,
Never will leave thee alone.

Refrain

No, nev­er alone,
No, nev­er alone,
He pro­mised nev­er to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
No, nev­er alone,
No, nev­er alone,
He pro­mised nev­er to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.

Roses fade around me,
Lilies bloom and die,
Earthly sun­beams van­ish—
Radiant still the sky!
Jesus, Rose of Sha­ron,
Blooming for His own,
Jesus, Heav­en’s sun­shine,
Never will leave me alone.

Refrain

Steps un­seen be­fore me,
Hidden dan­gers near;
Nearer still my Sav­ior,
Whispering, be of cheer;
Joy like birds of spring­time,
To my heart have flown,
Singing all so sweet­ly,
He will not leave me alone.
