Sweet is the promise

- Sweet is the promise, ‘I will not forget thee,’
- nothing can molest or turn my soul away;
- e‟en though the night be dark within the valley,
- just beyond is shining an eternal day.
- 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;
- though earth despise me, though 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
