No Man Goeth Alone

Topics: classic

Where one is,     There am I,--                     No man goeth alone!     Though he fly to earth's remotest bound,     Though his soul in the depths of sin be drowned,--                     No man goeth alone!     Though he take him the wings of fear, and flee     Past the outermost realms of light;     Though he weave him a garment of mystery,     And hide in the womb of night,--                     No man goeth alone!     Though apart in the city's heart he dwell,     Though he wander beyond the stars,     Though he bury himself in his nethermost hell,     And vanish behind the bars,--                     No man goeth alone!     For I, God, am the soul of man,     And none can Me dethrone.     Where one is,     There am I,--                     No man goeth alone!
