I will not leave you comfortless by Bruce Steane — Lyrics
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

About I will not leave you comfortless
Bruce Steane's anthem I will not leave you comfortless opens with a sense of gentle reassurance, the SATB voices weaving together in close harmony. The composer captures the comforting words of Jesus from John 14:18-21, offering a message of enduring presence and love. The music unfolds with a flowing, devotional quality, building to moments of quiet strength as the text speaks of Christ's indwelling and the reciprocal love between Christ and his followers. This sacred anthem is well-suited for services where a message of steadfast divine affection is central, its English text clear and the SATB voicing providing rich harmonic colour.
