Lyrics

Never alone do we jour­ney below,
Tho’ dark clouds low­er and wild tem­pests blow;
Jesus, our Sav­ior, leads on day by day,
He will go with us each step of the way.

Refrain

Never alone—He’s a friend and a guide,
Never alone—ev­er close to our side.
Never alone—naught our hearts should dis­may,
For He will go with us each step of the way.

Never alone, tho’ the path’s rough and steep,
He who is with us our foot­steps will keep.
Safe o’er life’s trou­bles He lifts us alway;
He will go with us each step of the way.

Refrain

Never alone, tho’ oft­times we for­get
When dan­gers threat­en and hard­ships beset;
If from the pathway we heed­less­ly stray,
Still He is with us each step of the way.

Refrain

Never alone, His strong arm will not fail
E’en to up­hold us thro’ death’s nar­row vale;
To that fair land where for­ev­er ’tis day,
He will go with us each step of the way.
