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. 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. 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 Every dreary mile of the way. Refrain How the thought 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
