Hymn 467 - His Promise to Me

Darkness may o’ertake me

and my song forsake me,

But alone I never shall be;

For the Friend beside me

promised He would guide me

And will keep His promise to me.

Should misfortune meet me,

friends may fail to greet me,

But if true to Jesus I stay,

He will still uphold me,

let His love enfold me

Ev’ry dreary mile of the way.

How the tho’t enthralls me

that whate’er befalls me,

One will always love me the same;

Not a trial ever causes Him to sever

From the ones who honor His name.

REFRAIN

He will keep His promise to me,

All the way with me He will go;

He has never broken any promise spoken;

He will keep His promise, I know.
