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.
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.”
