I’m never alone in the morning

As I rise at the break of day

For Jesus who watched through the darkness

Says, “Lo, I am with you always.”



I’m never alone at my table

Though loved ones no longer I see

For dearer than all who have vanished

Is Jesus who breaks bread with me.



I’m never alone through the daylight

Though nothing but trials I see

Though the furnace be seven times heated

The ‘form of the fourth’ walks with me.

I’m never alone at the twilight

When darkness around me doth creep

And specters press hard round my pillow

He watches and cares while I sleep.



I’m walking and talking with Jesus

Each day as I travel along

I’m never alone, Hallelujah!

The joy of the Lord is my song.
