Sweet is the promise, "I will not forget thee"; Nothing can molest or turn my soul away; E'en tho' the night be dark within the valley, Just beyond is shining an eternal day.
Refrain: 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? 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; Tho' earth despise me, tho' my friends forsake me, Jesus will be near me, gladdening my days.
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.
