I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS.

By Nevin

Always with me! always with me! Words of cheer and words of love; Thus the risen Saviour whispers From his dwelling-place above.
With me, when with sin I struggle, Giving strength and courage too; Bidding me to falter never, But to him be ever true.
With me, in the hour of sorrow, When my heart is pressed with grief, Pointing to a brighter morrow, And imparting sweet relief.
With me, when the storm is sweeping O'er my pathway, dark and drear; Waking hope within my bosom, Stilling every anxious fear.
With me, when I toil in sadness, Sowing much and reaping none; Telling me that in the future Golden harvests shall be won.
With me, in the lonely valley, When I cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory, Like the ancient prophet's dream.
Always with me! always with me! Pilot on the surging main; Guiding to the distant haven, Where I shall be home again.—Nevin.
