Lyics

"Forever with the Lord."
Amen: so let it be!
Unbounded bliss is in that word,
Unbounded bliss is in that word;
 Tis immortality,  Tis immortality, 
 Tis immortality.


Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat, before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord."


The trump of final doom
Will speak the selfsame word,
And heaven's voice thunder, through the tomb,
"Forever with the Lord."


The tomb shall echo deep
That death-awakening word;
The saints shall hear it in their sleep.
"Forever with the Lord."


Then, while they upward fly,
That resurrection word
Shall be their shout of victory:
"Forever with the Lord!"
