Jubilate ‎#64

64. When the World Forgets

1 Are the days of long ago far sweeter than today?
Has the love that once you knew grown cold and passed away?
You may know the blessing of His presence if you will,
Gladness still awaits you, for the Saviour loves you still.

Refrain:
Jesus remembers, He remembers you!
Other friends may fail you, He is always true;
He will heal your broken heart, burdened with regrets,
Jesus still remembers when the world forgets.

2 You are not forgotten when your heart is weighed with woe,
There is one who loves you more than you can ever know;
He who wore the crown of thorns and died on Calvary,
Suff’ring nameless anguish, waits to comfort you and me. [Refrain]

3 Has the hand of death removed some loved one from your sight?
Has the fairest day of earth been turned to darkest night?
God who gave His only Son to comfort the distressed
Calls to thee, O heavy laden, “come to me and rest.” [Refrain]
