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

Author: Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 632 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:23 Lyrics: 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!

Havergal Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 540 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:27 Lyrics: 1 I gave my life for thee; My precious blood I shed, That thou might'st ransomed be And quickened from the dead. I gave My life for thee; What hast thou giv'n for Me? 2 I spent long years for thee In weariness and woe That an eternity Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; Hast thou spent one for Me? 3 My Father's home of light, My rainbow-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Hast thou left aught for Me? 4 I suffered much for thee, More than my tongue may tell, Of bitt'rest agony, To rescue thee from hell. I suffered much for thee; What canst thou bear for Me? 5 And I have brought to thee Down from My home above Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love. Great gifts I brought to thee; What hast thou brought to Me? 6 Oh, let thy life be given, Thy years for Me be spent, World's fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent! I gave Myself for thee; Give thou thyself to Me. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Used With Tune: OLD 120TH

Praise to the Lord of my salvation: salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.
