1
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
2
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
3
Yet clouds will intervene
And all my prospect flies
Like Noah’s dove I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies
Anon the clouds depart
The winds and waters cease
While sweetly o’er my gladdened heart
Expands the bow of peace
4
I hear at morn and even
At noon and midnight hour
The choral harmonies of Heaven
Earth’s Babel tongues o’erpower
Then then I feel that He
Remembered or forgot
The Lord is never far from me
Though I perceive Him not
5
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
6
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
Forever With The Lord [#ForeverWithTheLord #ForeverWith #WithTheLord #TheLord]
