How can we forget Him,
our blessed Redeemer?
How can we forget Him,
and wander away,
When He like a shepherd
so carefully guards us,
And keeps us from danger
by night and by day?
We’ll come in the sunshine
of youth’s happy morning,
Our lives to His service
we’ll cheerfully give;
And pray for His Spirit
to guide and direct us,
That we to His glory
and honour may live.
How can we forget Him,
our blessèd Redeemer,
Who hath brought redemption
through sorrow and pain?
Yet upon the throne
of His Father exalted,
Our great Mediator
now liveth again.
We’ll come in the sunshine
of youth’s happy morning,
Our lives to His service
we’ll cheerfully give;
And pray for His Spirit
to guide and direct us,
That we to His glory
and honour may live.
How can we forget Him,
our blessèd Redeemer,
Who with watchful kindness
is ever so near—
Friend, above all others
the best and the truest,
Who never refuseth
His children to hear?
We’ll come in the sunshine
of youth’s happy morning,
Our lives to His service
we’ll cheerfully give;
And pray for His Spirit
to guide and direct us,
That we to His glory
and honour may live.
