FOR EVER WITH THE LORD!

For ever with the Lord!
Amen, so let it be;
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.

My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to Faith's foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear.

My thirsty spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.

For ever with the Lord!
Father, if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E'en here to me fulfill.

Knowing as I am known
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne
For ever with the Lord!

[chorus]
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
