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.

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.

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."
