SWEET IS THE PROMISE
1. Sweet is the promise- AI 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 one 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. Trusting the promise I will not
forget thee,
Onward will I go with songs of joy
and love;
Tho’ earth despise me, tho’ my
friends forsake me,
I shall be remembered in my home
above.
3. When at the golden portals I am
standing,
All my tribulations, all my sorrows
past,
How sweet to hear the blessed
proclamation,
AEnter, faithful servant, welcome
home at last!
