Lyrics

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.

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

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

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