Lyrics

If thro’ the sha­dows my path­way should lead,
He will not leave me alone,
For I have found in my heart’s deep­est need,
He will not leave me alone.

Refrain

He will not leave me alone,
He will not leave me alone;
He is my Sav­ior, Re­deem­er and friend;
He will not leave me alone.

When I am wea­ry with la­bor and care,
He will not leave me alone;
He will stand by me my bur­den to share,
He will not leave me alone.

Refrain

Satan may tempt me to turn from the way,
He will not leave me alone;
But His rich grace will sus­tain me each day,
He will not leave me alone.

Refrain

So I will trust Him wher­ev­er I go,
He will not leave me alone;
He is my friend, and this one thing I know,
He will not leave me alone.
