Lyrics
1. Forever with the Lord! My lot shall always be; my star at night shall be that word to heaven guiding me. Here on the earth I'm pent, can but a stranger be, yet nightly pitch my moving tent, Lord, always nearer Thee. Nearer Thee, nearer Thee; Lord, always nearer Thee!
2. Though oft I cannot see, my sight begins to wane; I'm blinded by the mists of care, perplexed by grief and pain. The clouds once more decrease and when the storms depart, to bring me cheer, the light of peace brings comfort to my heart. Light of peace, light of peace; what comfort to my heart!
3. I raise to heav'n my eyes. There home does beckon me and, guided on the path of faith, that home I here can see. Then for this home above I yearn, there long to rest, to share in that great wondrous love in realms of blessedness. Wondrous love, wondrous love in realms of blessedness.
4. And when my pulse is still, my soul from bondage free, pass out of death to life I will, triumphant shall I be. I'll see in beauty there what earth could not afford; and I shall be, how wonderful, forever with the Lord! Wonderful, wonderful, forever with the Lord!
