1  "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."

 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."
