Jesus I Will Never Leave

Jesus I will nev­er leave

Who for me Him­self hath giv’n;

Firmly un­to Him I’ll cleave

Nor from Him be ever driv’n.

Life from Him doth light re­ceive

Jesus I will nev­er leave.

Jesus I will nev­er leave

While on earth I am abid­ing;

That I have to Him I give

All my cares in Him con­fid­ing.

Naught shall me of Him be­reave

Jesus I will nev­er leave.

Though my sight shall pass away

Hearing

taste

and feel­ing fail me;

Though my life’s last light of day

Shall o’er­take and sore as­sail me;

When His sum­mons I re­ceive

Jesus I will nev­er leave.

Nor will I my Je­sus leave

When at last I shall come thi­ther

Where His saints He will rec­eive

Where in bliss they live to­ge­ther.

Endless joy to me He’ll give

Jesus I will nev­er leave.

Not for earth’s vain joys I crave

Nor

with­out him

Heav­en’s plea­sure;

Jesus

who my soul did save

Evermore shall be my trea­sure.

He re­demp­tion did achieve

Jesus I will nev­er leave.
