His Promise

I’ve seen the lightning flashing and heard the thunder roll, I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing, which tried to conquer my soul; I’ve heard the voice of my Savior, He bid me still fight on- He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.

The world’s fierce winds are blowing- temptation’s sharp and keen; I have a peace in knowing my Savior stands between; He stands to shield me from danger, when all my friends are gone- He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.

When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care, My Savior helps me carry the cross so heavy to bear; Tho all around me is darkness and earthly joys are flown, My Savior whispers His promise- never to leave me alone.

He died on Calvary’s mountain, for me they pierced His side, For me He opened that fountain, the crimson, cleansing tide; For me He’s waiting in glory upon His heavenly throne- He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.
