We shall be with Christ forever,
When this world's dark night is o'er.
Us from Him can nothing sever;
We are His forevermore.

God our everlasting dwelling,
And our portion there shall be,
While from hearts with rapture swelling,
Praise shall rise continually.

Faith we'll need not for our seeing;
Hope no more will be our stay:
All the springs of ransomed being
Shall flow out in cloudless day.

In the heavenly fields abiding,
Where the quiet waters roll,
In our Shepherd's love confiding,
Rest and peace shall fill the soul.

Age on age shall follow ages,
Still no change His love will know;
All the truths of Scripture's pages
In that light of life shall glow.

Oh, that here on earth the prospect
Which before us has been set,
Of enjoying Jesus' presence
Without hindrance or let,

Served to keep us ever near Him,
Walking softly in His ways,
Till with joy we rise to meet Him,
Dwell with Him thru' endless days!

H. A. J.
