Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 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.
[Verse 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.
[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.
[Verse 3]
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!
[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.
