for­got­ten

...Only a si­lent bed,

After this sad fare­well,...

...They thought, it is be­cause He sees

It seems they have for­got­ten, too,...

...My sins and faults of youth,

And for Thy ten­der mer­cies’ sake,...

...Almost des­pair­ing, borne down by the gale,

Fierce ’tho the bil­lows may break ov­er me,...

...Almost des­pair­ing, borne down by the gale,

Fierce ’tho the bil­lows may break ov­er me,...

...Let all evil past behav­ior

Let our spir­its, gen­tle Sav­ior,...

...In all their err­ing, sin­ful years,

Remember all the pray­ers and tears...

...Where beau­ty and splen­dor com­bine,

But they that be wise shall shine....

...Led by Je­sus we are tra­vel­ing home.

Led by Je­sus we are tra­vel­ing home;...

...God of my strength, how long shall I

Forlorn, for­sak­en and ex­posed...

...Only the seed that on earth we have sown;

Fruits of the har­vest and what we have done....

...Yet though oft­en trou­bled—wea­ry of earth’s guile,

end...

...And now they’re re­mem­bered no more.

Your sins are re­mem­bered no more;...

...When I’ve whis­pered fare­well

When I’ve sung my last car­ol...

...start

Or un­to an id­ol our hands spread abroad,...

...That Je­sus brought to all men be­low,

Those mem’ries saint­ed thou bring’st un­taint­ed,...

...Thanks for dark and stor­my fall!

Thanks for peace with­in my soul!...

...This vain world is naught to me,

In re­mem­ber­ing Cal­va­ry....

...start

Forbidden still Thy face to see,...

...Thro’ eter­ni­ty’s years,

With its sor­rows and tears....
