Lyrics

What is more sacred than the promise
Binding our hearts today?
Should we forget, we must regret
If from God’s path we stray
Remember e’er the promise
Born in our hearts today
What tho’ the morrow brings gladness or sorrow
Hold we our trust for aye
Love is a fortune golden
Truth is the might over all
Binding our hearts in the promise
Till we hear the Father’s call
God is love and holds our promise
Till we hear His homeward call
