Alone With God

Verse 1

When storms of life are round me beating, When rough the path that I have trod, Within my closet door retreating, I love to be alone with God.

Chorus

Alone with God, the world forbidden, Alone with God, O blest retreat! Alone with God, and in Him hidden, To hold with Him communion sweet.

Verse 2

What tho’ the clouds have gathered o’er me? What tho’ I’ve passed beneath the rod? God’s perfect will there lies before me, When I am thus alone with God.

Verse 3

’Tis there I find new strength for duty, As o’er the sands of time I plod; I see the King in all His beauty, While resting there alone with God.

Verse 4

And when I see the moment nearing When I shall sleep beneath the sod, When time with me is disappearing, I want to be alone with God.
