Alone With Thee

1Alone with Thee, my God, in prayer Fain would I from the world repair,
And leave the sordid things of life To rest from toil, to cease from strife.

2Alone with Thee when breaks the morn,
When joyous youth and hope are born.
My Friend and Guardian from my birth,
Guide all my wanderings through this earth.

3Alone with Thee at blazing noon,
E'en youth and strength pass swift and soon.
I would not wait till comes the night But yield to Thee my manhood's might.

4Alone with Thee when night is nigh And darkness steals across the sky.
With Thee I'd brave death's chilling tide And stand at last on Canaan's side.
