ANGELS' SONGS FROM THE GOLDEN CITY OF THE BLESSED
Edythe Morahan-de Lauzon

<<  I'LL NEVER, NEVER, LEAVE THEE  >>

I SAW my radiant Saviour
Clad in robes of shining white;
And all His glorious Presence
Was bathed in holy light.
I cried,
"Lord, I am tossed about
On Life's great stormy sea!"
Then in His sweet, calm voice,
He gently said to me:
" I'll never, never leave thee
Though all the world forsake thee.
By thy side I'll ever be,
In trouble and adversity!
I am thy Friend
Time without end
'Tis Jesus speaks to thee!
" I'll never, never leave thee-
My love shall e'er enfold thee.
My love is deep as the shining sea.
And abides for all eternity!
I am thy Friend
Time without end
'Tis God who speaks to thee!
" 1^11 never, never leave thee
In grief's dark hour I'm near thee,
And when thou calPst to Me,
My answer e'er shall be,
I am thy Friend
Time without end
Thy Saviour speaks to thee!''
And the Angel Host took up the song
Of love from God on high;
While the light which streamed from Heaven,
Like a sunset filled the sky.
And as the echoes were ringing
Through the vast realms of space,
I could hear the Angels singing
Of the glory of God's grace!
