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.

Nearer Home, Nearer Home,
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
Thy Golden Gates Appear !
Ah, Then My Spirit Faints
To Reach The Land I Love ;
The Bright Inheritance Of Saints,
Jerusalem Above.

Yet Clouds Will Intervene,
And All My Prospect Flies ;
Like Noah’s Dove, I Flit Between
Rough Seas And Stormy Skies.
Anon The Clouds Depart,
The Winds And Waters Cease ;
While Sweetly O’er My Gladdened Heart
Expands The Bow Of Peace,

I Hear At Morn And Even,
At Noon And Midnight Hour
The Choral Harmonies Of Heaven
Earth’s Babel-Tongues Overpower
That Resurrection Word,
That Shout Of Victory,
Once More: For Ever With The Lord !
Amen, So Let It Be !
