LyicsGod doth not leave his own!
The night of weeping for a time may last;
Then, tears all past,
His going forth shall as the morning shine;
The sunrise of his favors shall be thine --
God doth not leave his own.
God doth not leave his own!
Though "few and evil" all their days appear,
Though grief and fear
Come in the train of earth and hell's dark crowd,
The trusting heart says, even in the cloud,
God doth not leave his own.
God doth not leave his own!
This sorrow in their life he doth permit,
Yea, useth it
To speed his children on their heavenward way, --
He guides the winds, -- Faith, Hope and Love all say,
God doth not leave his own.
