  1. Far out on the des-o-late bil-low
    The sai-lor sails the sea,
    A-lone with night and the tem-pest,
    Where count-less dan-gers be;
    Yet ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
    Who lives by faith and prayer;
    For God is a friend unfailing,
    And God is everywhere.
  2. Far down in the earth's dark bossom
    The min-er mines the ore;
    Death lurks in the dark be-hind him,
    And hides in the rock be-fore.
    Yet ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
    Who lives by faith and prayer;
    For God is a friend un-failing,
    And God is ev-ery-where.
  3. Forth in-to the dread-ful bat-tle
    The stead-fast sol-dier goes;
    No friend, when he lies a-dy-ing,
    His eyes to kiss and close.
    Yet ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
    Who lives by faith and prayer;
    For God is a friend un-failing,
    And God is ev-ery-where.
  4. Lord, grant as we life's o-cean,
    Or delve in its mines of woe,
    Or fight in its ter-ri-ble conflict,
    This com-fort all to know,
    That ne-ver a-lone is the Chris-tian,
    Who lives by faith and prayer;
    For God is a friend un-failing,
    And God is ev-ery-where.
