Alone With Jesus

Verse 1

I have been alone with Jesus, with my head upon his breast, For I was so very weary, that I waited there to rest. I have been alone with Jesus, and he bade me stay awhile, And I felt it very precious, in the sunshine of his smile.

Chorus

I’ve been alone with Jesus, My blessed, blessed Jesus, I’ve been alone with Jesus, In the sunshine of his smile.

Verse 2

With a trembling heart I told him, while with joy I lingered there, All the burden of my sorrow and my heavy weight of care; How the voice of Satan’s whisp’rings often called me into sin, And I asked him if I might not stay forever there with Him.

Verse 3

Shall I tell you what he told me, while I still was waiting there? For it took away my trouble, and it took away my care. O he told me how he lov’d me, tho’ a wayward, erring child, And I felt so very happy, as he look’d on me and smil’d.

Verse 4

Then he told me I was welcome, evermore with him to stay, And he said that he would never cast his loving child away, “Lo!” he said, “I am thy Saviour, as a rock I firmly stand, Come and rest beneath my shadow, in this weary, thirsty land.”
