I Will Not Forget Thee

Sweet is the pro­mise I will not for­get thee

Nothing can mo­lest or turn my soul away;

E’en though the night be dark with­in the val­ley

Just be­yond is shin­ing an eter­nal day.

I will not for­get thee or leave thee

In My hands I’ll hold thee

In My arms I’ll fold thee

I will not for­get thee or leave thee;

I am thy Re­deem­er

I will care for thee.

Trusting the pro­mise I will not for­get thee

Onward I will go with songs of joy and love

Though earth des­pise me

Though my friends for­sake me

I shall be re­mem­bered in my home ab­ove.

When at the gold­en por­tals I am stand­ing

All my tri­bu­la­tions

all my sor­rows past;

How sweet to hear the bless­èd pro­cla­ma­tion

Enter

faith­ful serv­ant

wel­come home at last.
