Refrain: No, never alone, no, never alone; He promised never to leave me, He'll claim me for His own. No, never alone, no, never alone: He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. 2 The world’s fierce winds are blowing Temptations sharp and keen; I have a peace in knowing My Savior stands between; He stands to shield me from danger When earthly friends are gone; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone! [Refrain] 3 When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care, My Savior helps me carry My cross so heavy to bear; Though all around me is darkness, Earthly joys all flown; My Savior whispers His promise, Never to leave me alone! [Refrain] 4 He died on Calvary's mountain, For me they pierced His side, For me He opened that fountain, The crimson, cleansing tide; For me He waiteth in glory, Seated upon His throne; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone!
