I Will Not Forget Thee

Chas. Hutchinson Gabriel • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 49:15

Verse 1

Sweet is the promise "I will not forget thee." Nothing can molest or turn my soul away; E’en tho' 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.

Verse 2

Trusting the promise "I will not forget thee," Onward will I go with songs of joy and love, Tho' earth despise me, tho' my friends forsake me, I shall be remembered in my home above.

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.

Verse 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

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.
