Representative Text

1 I ne­ver am wea­ry of Je­sus,
Sweet peace doth His pro­mise af­ford;
In times of dis­tress and temp­ta­tion,
A re­fuge I find in the Lord.

Refrain:
I ne­ver am wea­ry of Je­sus,
My won­der­ful, glo­ri­ous friend;
His good­ness and love so un­fail­ing
Shall fol­low me on to the end.

2 He knows when my cross is too hea­vy,
And calls from His Hea­ven above;
"Fear not, for My grace is suf­ficient,
O trust in My in­fi­nite love!" [Refrain]

3 I ne­ver am wea­ry of Je­sus,
I know that the Christ is with­in;
He brings to me com­fort and bless­ing,
And cleans­es my soul from all sin. [Refrain]

4 While fol­low­ing on in His foot­steps,
Now glo­ry il­lum­ines my way;
His voice is the sweet­est of mu­sic,
And dear­er He grows ev­ery day. [Refrain]

Lizzie De Armond was a prolific writer of children's hymns, recitations and exercises. When she was twelve years old her first poem was published in the Germantown, Pa. Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
