Lyrics

On life’s pathway I am ne­ver lonely,
My Lord is with me, my Lord divine;
Ever present guide, I trust Him only,
No longer lonely, for He is mine.

Refrain

No longer lonely, no longer lonely,
For Je­sus is the friend of friends to me;
No longer lonely, no longer lonely,
For Je­sus is the friend of friends to me.

I shall not be lonely in my sorrow,
He will sustain me until the end;
Darkest night He turns to brightest morrow,
No longer lonely! He is my friend.

Refrain

I shall not be lonely in the valley
Tho’ shadows gather, I will not fear;
He has promised ever to uphold me,
No longer lonely! He will be near.
