No Man Goeth Alone

By William Arthur Dunkerley (John Oxenham)

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!
