His Child Forevermore

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1887
Composer: John Sweney

Of Him I boast

who shed for me

His pre­cious blood on Cal­va­ry

Who bore the cross that I might be

His child for­ev­er­more.

His child for­ev­er­more

His mer­cy I adore;

He bore the cross that I might be

His child for­ev­er­more.

Of Him I boast

my Sav­ior dear

Who takes away my guilt and fear

And bids me now by faith draw near

His child for­ev­er­more.

Of Him I boast

my Lord and king

Whose bless­èd name I love to sing;

To him alone my heart shall cling

His child for­ev­er­more.

Of Him I’ll boast

while here I stay

And then to realms of end­less day

I’ll spread my wings and fly away

His child for­ev­er­more.
