Forever! Forever! O not for a day! He keepeth his promise forever! To all who believe, to all who obey, He keepeth his promise forever!

Who seek him shall find him, shall find him today, The word is to all, “whosoever!” No soul that entreateth, he turneth away; He keepeth his promise forever.

My heart may sink low in the depths of its woe, But never, he tells me, O never! The frail, bruised reed will he break; and I know He keepeth his promise forever.

The bonds that unite us in earth’s dearest ties, The rude hand of Time will dissever; But we shall renew them again in the skies; He keepeth his promise forever!

Chorus

Forever! Forever! O not for a day! He keepeth his promise forever! To all who believe, to all who obey, He keepeth his promise forever!
