I WILL NOT FORGET THEE

I WILL NOT FORGET THEE

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.


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.
                   

3.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 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.”
