The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#772

772. I will never, never leave thee

1 I will never, never leave thee,
I will never thee forsake;
I will guide, and save, and keep thee,
For my name and mercy's sake:
Fear no evil,
Fear no evil,
Only all my counsel take.

2 When the storm is raging round thee,
Call on me in humble prayer;
I will fold my arms around thee,
Guard thee with the tenderest care:
In the trial,
I will make thy pathway clear.

3 When the sky above is glowing,
And around thee all is bright,
Pleasure like a river flowing,
All things tending to delight;
I'll be with thee,
I will guide thy steps aright.

4 When thy soul is dark and clouded,
Filled with doubt, and grief, and care,
Through the mists by which 'tis shrouded,
I will make the light appear,
And the banner
Of my love I will uprear.
