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.

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

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.
