Forever

 

Brief life here is our portion, brief sorrow, short lived care

the life that knows no ending the fearless life is there!

There God, our King and Portion in fulness of His grace

We then shall see forever and worship face to face.

 

For time holds many captives in His time we're set free

For timeless and unchanging- he holds all mystery.

But in Christ we walk in Light where no shadow is cast.

From age to age He keeps us 'til darkness is all passed.

 

Forevermore rejoicing forever in His care

His majesty exalt then his faithfulness declare.

this shall be our witness- whom He chooses He will claim

We will come into His presence forever to remain.

 

Bernard of Cluny
