H-510I Will Not Forget Thee

Sweet is the promise, "I will not forget thee,"

Nothing can molest or turn my soul away;

E'en tho' the night be dark within the valley,

Just beyond is shining an eternal day.

Trusting the promise, "I will not forget thee,"

Onward will I go with songs of joy and love;

Tho' earth despise me, tho' 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 blessed proclamation,

"Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last."

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.
