1  I've seen the lightning flashing,

       And heard the thunder roll;

    I've felt sin's breakers dashing,

       Trying to conquer my soul;

    I've heard the voice of Jesus,

       Telling me still to fight on;

    He promised never to leave me,

       Never to leave me alone.

 2  The world's fierce winds are blowing,

       Temptations are sharp and keen;

    I feel 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.

 3  When in affliction's valley,

       I'm treading the road of care,

    My Savior helps me to carry

       My cross when heavy to bear;

    My feet entangled with briars,

       Ready to cast me down;

    My Savior whispered His promise,

       Never to leave me alone.

 4  He died for me on the mountain,

       For me they pierced His side,

    For me He opened that fountain,

       The crimson, cleaning tide;

    For me He waiteth in glory,

       Seated upon His throne;

    He promised never to leave me,

       Never to leave me alone.
