Text: James Montgomery | Tune: NEARER HOME
For ever with the Lord!
Amen, so let it be:
Life from the dead is in that word,
’Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day’s march nearer home.
My Father’s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith’s foreseeing eye
The golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.
For ever with the Lord!
Father, if ’tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E’en here to me fulfil.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
‘For ever with the Lord!’
The song brings complete peace and assurance. I weep for joy every time I sing it. Stay connected to Jesus, folks. Our home is not here on earth. We wait for a city whose Maker and Builder is God. Forever with the Lord. Hallelujah!
ditto!
Amen. Forever with the Lord, even now let it begin;
A foretaste of that land where sin and death no longer shall reign.
Forever with the Lord. Let this be sang when I am gone. Forever with the Lord
I love hymns and I love singing to my God.
Every year I travel to put flowers on my parents' grave - and as I stand there I sing this hymn! 'By death I shall escape from death' - a priceless line for every Christian.
Was going to emphasize this line. You already did! Powerful.
Father God, Bring us safely to our eternal home in Jesus Christ Name AMEN. In affectionate memory of ALL my departed loved ones. Thanks. 💓💐💖🌹💕
This is very mesmerising and gives me peace when I think of the Lord
This is moving and inspiring, Forever with the Lord!
What a blessing words from the song (forever with the lord)
To the glory of God
Beautiful words
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17 NIV
Harry Kim / Amen, my Savior!
Oh! Lord let your desire for me be also my desire
Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A days march nearer home.
My Father's house be nigh,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith's forseeing eye
The golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love
The bright inheritance of saints,
New Jerusalem I love!
"Forever with the Lord!"
Father if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfill.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!"
