1 Sweet is the promise I will not forget thee
Nothing can molest or turn my soul away,
Een 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
- How can I show my gratitude to Jesus,
For His love unfailing and His tender care
For I will proclaim to others His salvation,
That they may accept Him and His promise share.
- Trusting the promise “I will not forget thee
Onward will I go with songs of joy and praise,
Though earth despise me, though my friends forsake me,
Jesus will be near me, gladdening my days.
4 When at my 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.”
