“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.)

Praise God for this reminder that I am never alone.

This affirms the truths in John 14:18, and Hebrews 13:5-6 that in all our crisis of bereavement and loss the Lord promises to stand beside me and that I am never alone. What a comfort! He is 'Immanuel' and His Presence and love are all we need. He is and will be sufficient for us. Halleluia!

This song is such a sweet reminder that despite how sometimes we feel like God has deserted us, we can still hold on to the beautiful promise He made to us. He promises never to leave us alone. So, we should take courage and lift our faith because He is right there. When the fight gets too much for us, He will step in and take it over. He has, not stored in yet because despite our doubts, He knows we have the strength we need to overcome.

Wonderful soul-thrilling song that keeps the soul rocking to every beat especially in your trying times. "He whispers, be of good cheer". Good old time song "sound" encouraging words. God bless the writer that pened these words...

I like this song. May God blesses us.

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!"
