Far out on the des-o-late bil-low
The sai-lor sails the sea,
A-lone with night and the tem-pest,
Where count-less dan-gers be;
Yet ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend unfailing,
And God is everywhere.
Far down in the earth's dark bossom
The min-er mines the ore;
Death lurks in the dark be-hind him,
And hides in the rock be-fore.
Yet ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend un-failing,
And God is ev-ery-where.
Forth in-to the dread-ful bat-tle
The stead-fast sol-dier goes;
No friend, when he lies a-dy-ing,
His eyes to kiss and close.
Yet ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend un-failing,
And God is ev-ery-where.
Lord, grant as we life's o-cean,
Or delve in its mines of woe,
Or fight in its ter-ri-ble conflict,
This com-fort all to know,
That ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
Who lives by faith and prayer;
For God is a friend un-failing,
And God is ev-ery-where.
