1.
The LORD Himself shall come
And shout a quickening word;
Thousands shall answer from the tomb:
"Forever with the Lord!"
2.
Then as they upward fly,
That resurrection-word
Shall be their shout of victory,
"Forever with the Lord!"
3.
How shall I meet those eyes?
Mine on the cross I cast,
And own myself the Savior's prize:
Mercy from first to last.
4.
"Knowing as I am known!"
How shall I love that word,
How oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!"
5.
That resurrection-word,
That shout of victory -
Once more: "Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be!
