Lyics"Forever with the Lord;"
Amen, so let it be:
Unbounded bliss is in that word,
'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 self-same 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."
