THE Lord Himself shall come,
And shout a quickening word;
Thousands shall answer from the tomb:
" Forever with the Lord!"
Then, as we upward fly,
That resurrection word
Shall be our shout of victory:
" Forever with the Lord!"
" Knowing as I am known!"
How shall I love that word,
How oft repeat before the throne:
"Forever with the Lord!"
That resurrection word,
That shout of victory-
Once more, " Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be!
