Verse 1
Alone with Thee, my Godin prayer Fain would I from the world repair, AAnd leave the sordid things of life To rest from toil, to cease from strife.
Verse 2
Alone with Thee when breaks the morn, When joyous youth and hope are born. My Friend and Guardian from my birth, Guide all my wanderings trough this earth.
Verse 3
Alone 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 man-hood's might.
Verse 4
Alone 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.
