688 I've seen the lighting flashing, 1. I've seen the lighting flashing, And heard the thunder roll; I've felt sin's breakers dashing, Trying to conquer my soul; I've heard the voice of Jesus, Telling me still to fight on; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. No, never alone, No, never alone; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone; No, never alone, No, never alone; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. 2. The world's fierce winds are blowing, Temptations are sharp and keen; I feel a peace in knowing My Savior stands between; He stands to shield me from danger, When earthly friends are gone, He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone. 3. When in affliction's valley, I'm treading the road of care, My Savior helps me to carry My cross when heavy to bear; My feet entangled with briars, Ready to cast me down; My Savior whispered His promise, Never to leave me alone. 4. He died for me one the mountain, For me they pierced His side, For me He opened that fountain, The crimson, cleaning tide; For me He waiteth in glory, Seated upon His throne; He promised never to leave me, Never to leave me alone.
