Lyrics

I know Je­sus will not forget me,
For that is the word He hath said;
He helps me when trials beset me,
And daily by Him I am led.

Refrain

O beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful promise!
It hushes all worry and fret
To know He will care for me always,
And ne­ver, no, ne­ver forget.

In sorrow and joy He is with me,
He says all my needs will be met;
He knows what is best for me always,
And says He will ne­ver forget.

Refrain

I’m glad that I have a Good Shepherd,
Who banishes fear and regret;
I’m glad that He loves me so dearly,
And ne­ver His child will forget.
