1. Constantly supporting me each moment of the day; How can I be lonely
One is walking with me
over life’s uneven way,
Constantly supporting
me each moment of the day;
How can I be lonely
when such fellowship is mine,
With my blessed Lord divine!
How can I be lonely When I’ve Jesus only
To be my companion and unfailing guide:
Why should I be weary, Or my path seem dreary,
When He’s walking by my side?

Jesus meets them all with peace.

To be my companion and unfailing guide:
Why should I be weary, Or my path seem dreary,
When He’s walking by my side?
