Fear not, I am with thee

“Fear not, I am with thee”;
Blessed 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.”
 
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.
2
Roses fade around me,
Lilies bloom and die,
Earthly sunbeams vanish—
Radiant still the sky!
Jesus, Henna-flower,*
Blooming for His own,
Jesus, heaven’s sunshine,
Never will leave me alone.
3
Steps unseen before me,
Hidden dangers near;
Nearer still my Savior,
Whispering, “Be of cheer”;
Joys, like birds of springtime,
To my heart have flown,
Singing all so sweetly,
“He will not leave me alone.”
An Old World plant, prized for its fragrant yellow and white flowers. (Song of Sol. 1:14, A.S.V.)

I will not fear anything, for the Lord upholds me with His righteous right hand.. I trust in God that He will lead me to where He wants me to go. I trust in Him that He will always fill me with His wisdom and knowledge.. I know that in 2017 He will bless me in a way that will leave people amazed..He raised Lazarus from death even after he had been dead and buried for four days.

I love this beautiful song since I was a kid. We used to sing it in the Church. It lifted me and my spirit high whenever I sing and listen to it. It makes my tears flow. Its so touching and encouraging knowing that my God promises and always with me all the time.

These days whenever I am sitting with my keyboard I start singing this song. I love all the lines ..... especially the last stanza "Steps unseen before me, Hidden dangers near; Nearer still my Saviour, Whispering, "Be of cheer", Joy, like birds of springtime, To my heart have flown, Singing all so sweet, "He will not leave me alone".... 🎶🎵🎼🎻🎹🎷🎺

My mother used to sing this song often, some 40 years ago. I used to hum once in a while when I needed courage as I concentrate more on the verse.

Revised version:

1. "Always I'll be with you"—

Promise sweet to hear,

Fills my heart with comfort,

Drives away my fear;

Through long night and gloomy,

Christ my shield will be;

He will ne'er forsake me,

Always be with me.

Chorus:

The Lord is with me,

The Lord is with me;

He's promised He will be with me

Unto eternity.

The Lord is with me,

The Lord is with me;

He's promised He will be with me

Unto eternity.

2. Every flower withers;

His love never will.

Earthly sunlight darkens;

Heav'nly's splendid still.

He's like myrrh, a bundle,

'Twixt my breasts all night.

Always He'll be with me,

Till that morning light.

3. Rough the way before me;

Trials soon increase;

But the Lord is nearer,

Saying, "Be at peace."

Joys, like birds of springtime,

Fill my heart with glee;

Cause me to sing sweetly,

"The Lord is with me!"
