To the tune of Meinen Jesum Lass Ich Nicht
(“Jesus, I Will Never Leave”)

1. Jesus never will leave me.
Nothing e’er can separate us,
Though my thoughts and mind both flee.
Conqueror though Him who loved us!
Baptism is my guarantee—
Jesus never will leave me!
2. Though I meet my greatest fear:
Precious memories evade me.
I will not, cannot despair–
Faith’s confession boldly frees me:
Christ has not forgotten me;
Jesus never will leave me!
3. Jesus never will leave me,
In His Mansions, there forever!
Faith, in joy, accepts His key—
Nothing me from Him can sever.
Gone sin’s sorrows! Jubilee!
Jesus never will leave me!
