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.

Refrain

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.

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.

Refrain

When at the gold­en por­tals I am stand­ing,
All my tri­bu­la­tions, all my sor­rows past;
How sweet to hear the bless­èd pro­cla­ma­tion,
Enter, faith­ful ser­vant, wel­come home at last.

Refrain
