LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Even unto the end!
Subject(s): Faith


"Lo, I am with you always."
Softly the promise steals
Like sunlight into my shadows
And brightens and warms and heals.
Heals my anguish of spirit
An horror of loneliness,
Flooding my heart's dark chambers,
Words that comfort and bless.
a
"Lo, I am with you always."
He, my Saviour and King.
Making my heart His palace!
I, though a broken thing,
Am housing my blessed Master;
Together we sup and dine,
Together we hold sweet converse
Over the bread and wine.
a
And always He goes before me
On my thorn-strewn paths of pain;
Never will He forsake me
Nor leave me alone again.
Sweet is His voice in the twilight
As the evening shadows blend,
"Lo, I am with you always,
Even unto the end!"
