Hymn
Living Forever
Words: Lillenas, Haldor, 1885-1959 (1923)
Living forever, O marvelous thought! Jesus to me immortality brought; Living forever, though stars may decay, Suns cease to shine and the worlds pass away.
Refrain
Living forever, Dying, no, never, Life everlasting My portion shall be; Wonderful story, To God be the glory, I shall be living For all eternity.
Living forever where death is unknown, Dwelling where sin never reigned on the throne; Living forever where sorrowless days, Days never ending are fragrant with praise. [Refrain]
Living forever where love never dies, In that fair land where are said no “good-byes,” Living forever where hope is fulfilled And all the voices of sorrow are stilled. [Refrain]
Living forever through unending years, Where no eyes glisten with unbidden tears; Living forever in mansions of light, Where faith at last has been changed into sight. [Refrain]
Living forever, O destiny bright, In that bright Eden where cometh no night; Living forever with Jesus will be Heaven and glory sufficient for me. [Refrain]
