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. Refrain 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. Refrain 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.” Refrain |
