948. For ever with the Lord! Amen, so let it be!

1 For ever with the Lord!
Amen, so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.

2 Here, in the body pent,
Absent from him I roam;
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.

3 For ever with the Lord!
Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E'en here to me fulfill.

4 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death shall I escape from death,
And life eternal gain.

5 Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
For ever with the Lord!
