If you know where to get a better photo of Pinfold,
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.
