“Forever with the Lord!”
O Father, ’tis Thy will.
The promise of that faithful word
E’en here to me fulfil.
6
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail.
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight Thou, and I’ll prevail.
7
So when my dying breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death
And life eternal gain.
8
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word
And oft repeat before the throne,
“Forever with the Lord!”
