TRIBUTE
I 'm never alone in the morning as I rise at the break o f day
For Jesus who watches 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 fo r me.
I 'm never alone through the daylight, Though nothing but trials I see;
Though the furnace be seven times heated The `form o f the fourth" walks with me.
I 'm never alone at the twilight When darkness around me doth creep; A nd spectres 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 jo y o f the Lord is my song.
