1 I know Jesus will not forget me,
For that is the word he hath said;
He helps me when trials beset me,
And daily by him I am led.

Refrain:
O beautiful, beautiful promise!
It hushes all worry and fret
To know he will care for me always,
And never, no, never forget.

2 In sorrow and joy he is with me,
He says all my needs shall be met;
He knows what is best for me always,
And says he will never forget. [Refrain]

3 I’m glad that I have a “Good Shepherd,”
Who banishes fear and regret;
I’m glad that he loves me so dearly,
And never his child will forget. [Refrain]
