LyicsALWAYS with us, always with us-
Words of cheer and words of love;
Thus the risen Saviour whispers,
From his dwelling-place above:
With us when we toil in sadness,
Sowing much and reaping none,
Telling us that in the future
Golden harvest shall be won;
With us when the storm is sweeping
O'er our pathway dark and drear,
Waking hope within our bosoms,
Stilling every anxious fear;
With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream-
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation's radiant beam.
