I Will Not Forget Thee
Verse 1
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.
Chorus
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
Trusting the promise "I will not forget thee," Onward will I go with songs of joy and praise; Tho' earth despise me, tho my friends forsake me, Jesus will be near me gladdening my days.
Verse 4
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!"
