Sweet is the Promise

1

Sweet is the promise I will not forget thee,

Nothing can molest or turn my soul away;

E’en though the night be dark within the valley,

Just beyond is shining an eternal day.

Chorus

I will not forget thee or leave thee,

In My hands I’ll hold thee,

In My arms I’ll fold thee,

I will not forget thee or leave thee;

I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.

2

Trusting the promise I will not forget thee,

Onward I will go with songs of joy and love,

Though earth despise me,

Though my friends forsake me,

I shall be remembered in my home above. [Chorus]

3

When at the golden portals I am standing,

All my tribulations, all my sorrows past;

How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation,

Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last. [Chorus]
