Text: | God Never Forgets His Children |
Author: | Lizzie De Armond |
Tune: | [Oh, the joyful tho't! that ever] |
Composer: | Adam Geibel |
1 Oh, the joyful tho’t! that ever
We are kept, from day to day,
Bound by cords of love to Jesus,
Lest we leave the good old way.
Chorus:
No, he never will forget them,
Though the heavens pass away;
Folded in the arms of mercy
He will keep his own alway.
2 Never will our Lord forget us,
Child of sorrow do not fear,
Cast your burdens on the Master,
Lo, the Comforter is near! [Chorus]
3 Lift your eyes unto the hilltops,
Higher up ‘tis better far,
Look, for you a light is gleaming!
‘Tis the fadeless Morning Star. [Chorus]
4 On the heights, so everlasting,
Sits a Sentinel divine,
God will ne’er forget his children;
Soon the night with light shall shine. [Chorus]
