¡§Forever with the Lord!¡¨
Amen, so let it be!
Life from
His death is in that word
¡¦Tis immortality.
Here in the
body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
A day's march nearer home.
A day's march nearer home
My Father¡¦s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At
times to faith¡¦s foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.
Jerusalem above.
Jerusalem above.
¡§Forever with the Lord!¡¨
Forever in His will,
The
promise of that faithful word,
Lord, here in me fulfill.
With You at my right hand,
Then I shall never fail;
Uphold me, Lord, and I shall stand,
Through grace I will prevail.
Through grace I will prevail.
Through grace I will prevail.
So when my latest breath
Breaks through the veil of pain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
That resurrection word,
That shout of victory:
Once more, ¡§Forever with the Lord!¡¨
Amen, so let it be!
Amen, so let it be!
Amen, so let it be!
