Forever With The Lord!

by W. H. Luckenbach

Oh this is a joy indeed,
When from the earth we've soared,
To be from ills and sorrows freed,
Forever with the Lord!

In all that heav'n of bliss,
We never shall record,
A sweeter, deeper joy than this,
Forever with the Lord.

What rich repasts of grace
Are spread upon the board,
Where we shall gather face to face,
Forever with the Lord!

Cleansed by his blood from sin,
From death to life restored,
We gladly wait to be shut in,
Forever with the Lord!

Throughout eternity,
We'll sing with sweet accord,
That heav'n is heav'n because we'll be
Forever with the Lord!

Chorus

Forever with the Lord!
Forever— blissful word!
All sin and grief and suff'ring o'er,
Forever with the Lord!
