Forever with the Lord!
So, Father, let it be;
Life from the dead is in that word,
�T is immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Thee I roam;
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day�s march nearer home.
My Father�s house on high!
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith�s foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
I hear at morn and even,
At noon and midnight hour,
The choral harmonies of heaven
Earth�s Babel-tongues o-erpower.
And then I feel, that He,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
Forever with the Lord!
Father! If �t is Thy will,
The promise of that blessed word
Even here to me fulfil.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Help, and I must prevail.
