Hymn 357 – FOR ever with the Lord | C&S English Hymnary

1. FOR ever with the Lord Amen, so let it be Life from the dead is in that word 'Tis immortality Here in the body spent, Absent from Him I roam Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, A day’s march nearer home. 2. My Father’s house on high Home of my soul, how near At times to faith's foreseeing eye Thy golden gates appears Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love The bright inheritance of saints Jerusalem above. 3. Yet clouds will intervene And all my prospects fly Like Noah's dove, I fly between Rough seas and stormy skies And all the clouds depart The winds and waters cease While sweetly o'er my gladen’d heart Expands the bow of peace. 4. I hear at morn and eve At noon and midnight how The choral harm‘nies of heaven Earth‘s babel‐tongues o’er power That resurrection word That shout of victory song Once more, Forever with the Lord Amen, so let it be AMEN
