Hymn 111
Sweet is the promise '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 ht hold thee,
In My arms HI fuld thee;
I will not forget thee or leave thee
I am Thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.
- How can I show my gratitude to Jesus,
For His love unfailing and His tender care
I will proclaim to others His salvation.
That they may accept Him and
His promise share.
- Trusting the promise 'I will not forget Thee',
Onward will I go vvith songs of joy and praise;
Though earth despise me, though my friends forsake me,
Jesus will be near me, gladdening my days.
- When at my golden portals I am standing.
All my tribulations, all my sorrows past.
How sweet to hfear the blessed proclamation:
"Enter faithful servant, welcome home at last."
Christly Living
