  1. 1"Forever with the Lord!"
  2. Amen! so let it be!
  3. Life and spirit from above.
  4. 'Tis immortality!
  5. 2Here, in the body pent,
  6. Absent from Him I roam,
  7. Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
  8. A day's march nearer home.
  9. 3My Father's house on high,
  10. Home of my soul, how near,
  11. At times, to faith's foreseeing eye,
  12. Thy golden gates appear!
  13. 4Ah! then my spirit faints
  14. To reach the land I love,
  15. The bright inheritance of saints,
  16. Jerusalem above!
  17. 5"Forever with the Lord!"
  18. Father, if 'tis Thy will,
  19. The promise of that faithful word
  20. E'en here to me fulfill.
  21. 6Be Thou at my right hand,
  22. Then can I never fail;
  23. Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
  24. Fight, and I must prevail.
  25. 7So when my dying breath
  26. Shall rend the veil in twain,
  27. By death I shall escape from death,
  28. And life eternal gain.
  29. 8Knowing as I am known,
  30. How shall I love that word,
  31. And oft repeat, before the throne,
  32. "Forever with the Lord!"
