Forever with the Lord! 
Amen; so let it be, 
Life from the dead is in that word, 
'Tis immortality. 
Here in the body pent, 
Absent from Him I roam, 
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent 
A day's march nearer home. 
My Father's house on high, 
Home of my soul, so near, 
At times, to faith's far-seeing eye 
Thy golden gates appear! 
Yet clouds will intervene, 
And all my prospect flies, 
Like Noah's dove, I flit between 
Rough seas and stormy skies. 
And the clouds depart, 
The winds and waters cease, 
While sweetly o'er my gladdend heart 
Expands the bow of peace. 
In darkness as in light, 
Hidden alike from view, 
I sleep, I wake, as in His sight, 
Who looks all nature through. 
Forever with the Lord! 
Father, if 'tis Thy will, 
The promise of that faithful word 
Even here to me fulfil. 
Be Thou at my right hand, 
Then can I never fail, 
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, 
Fight, and I must prevail. 
Knowing as I am known, 
How shall I love that word! 
And oft repeat before the throne, 
Forever with the Lord! 
Forever with the Lord! 
Amen; so let it be, 
Life from the dead is in that word, 
'Tis immortality. 
—Octavius Winslow
