Sweet is the promise "I will not forget thee,"
Nothing can molest or turn my soul away;
E'en though the night be dark within the valley,
Just beyond is shining an eternal day.
Refrain
I will not forget thee or leave thee,
In My hands I'll hold thee,
In My arms I'll fold thee,
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.
Trusting the promise "I will not forget thee,"
Onward I will go with songs of joy and love,
Though earth despise me, Though my friends forsake me,
I shall be remembered in my home above.
Refrain
When at the golden portals I am standing,
All my tribulations, all my sorrows past;
How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation,
"Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last."
Refrain

主甘美應許:“我必不忘記你”,
無何事能叫我離開我救主;
縱在黑夜經過死蔭的幽谷,
那邊卻是光輝燦爛的永恆。
副歌
我必不忘記你,或離開你,
我手永遠扶持,我臂永遠懷抱;
我必不忘記你,或離開你,
我是你救贖主,必然顧念你。
相信主應許:“我必不忘記你”,
我往前行高唱慈愛喜樂歌;
縱被人藐視,縱被朋友離棄,
在天上榮美家我必定被記念。
副歌
當那榮耀日,我站在金門外,
所有災難愁苦都成為過去;
聽見天上有福宣告何甘甜:
歡迎忠僕回家,進來享美福。
