Ask what thou wilt, believing heart,
The answering time will come;
Pray and believe-that is thy part,
The answering time will come.
Ask in the name of Christ thy Lord,
The answering time will come;
Rest on the promise of His Word,
The answering time will come.
God’s Word is sure, it cannot fail,
The answering time will come;
The prayer of faith shall yet prevail,
The answering time will come.
God will not mock believing prayer,
The answering time will come;
He knows the burden thou dost bear,
The answering time will come.
Chorus
The answering time will come,
The answering time will come,
Tho’ dark the way, still trust and pray,
The answering time will come.
Mary B. Wingate
“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.
“Forever with the Lord!”
Father, if ‘tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
E’en here to me fulfill.....
So, when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
“Forever with the Lord!”
James Montgomery
