263. New Year's Evening

1 "For ever with the Lord!"
Amen! so let it be;
Life from the dead is in that word;
'Tis immortality.

2 Here, in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.

3 Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord!"
