I’m Not Alone

When dark­en­ing sha­dow ’round me falls

And light and hope seem gone

There is one thought my heart up­holds;

It is

I’m not alone.

No

nev­er alone

Je­sus’ fol­low­ers be;

He’s ev­er near

why should we fear?

Our guide and hope is He.

His eye can pierce the dark­est cloud

His arm all dan­ger stay;

He waits for nei­ther look nor word

Our trou­bles to al­lay.

When so­rrows come with crush­ing blow

O’er my de­fense­less head;

I trem­ble not

for well I know

Who by my side doth tread.

So

cheer­ful­ly I’ll tra­vel on

Through life’s dark

thor­ny way;

I’ll fear no ill

I’m not alone

While Je­sus is my stay.
