For ever with the Lord
"For ever with the Lord!"
Amen; so let it be:
Life from the dead 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.
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.
"For ever with the Lord!"
Father, if 'tis thy
will,
The promise of that faithful word
Even here to me fulfil.
Be thou at my right hand,
Then can I never
fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
Fight, and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend
the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that
word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord!"
