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 bless�d proclamation,
�Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last.�
Refrain
