I AM NEVER ALONE.

By Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle

MRS. L. D. AVERY-STUTTLE.

I am never alone, by day or night, Or whether the sky be dark or bright, Or whether the stars in the heavens shine, Or whether a darksome path be mine; Though His ways I may not understand, Yet my faith takes hold of the Father's hand.

As the young man stood by the prophet's side, When his blinded eyes were opened wide, He looked and saw, and ceased to fear; For the heavenly horsemen gathered near. And so, to-day, though I may not see, I know that the angels walk with me.

I am never alone; O the blessed calm That the sweet thought brings, like a healing balm! When my heart is weary and sick and sore, And the joys of life's springtime are mine no more, Still standing ever anear my side Is the blessed form of the Crucified.

I am never alone; when I bow the knee By the grave of my loved ones gone from me, When in grief I murmur a silent prayer, I lift my eyes, and my Lord is there! Yes, He who wept by the young man's grave Is there to comfort, and bless, and save.

What though I stand, like the faithful three, In the midst of the burning, fiery sea, The form of the Fourth will be there, I know, Though e'en through the valley of death I go. And so I banish each doubt and fear; I am never alone; for my Lord is near.
