Israel–Beloved of God

Forgotten! no; tht cannot be,
All other names may pass away;
But thine, My Israel, shall remain
In everlasting memory.

Forgotten! no; that cannot be,
Insribed upon My palms thou art,
The name I gave in days of old
Is graven still upon My heart.

Forgotten! no; that cannot be,
Beloved of thy God art thou;
His crown forever on thy head,
His Name forever on thy brow.

Forgotten! no; that cannot be,
He, Who upon thee named His Name,
Assures thee of eternal love,
A love for evermore the same.

Forgotten! no; that cannot be,
The oath of Him who cannot lie
Is on thy city and thy land
An oath to all eternity.

Forgotten! no; that cannot be,
The grace of ages deep and broad,
Is grace without decay, the grace,
O Israel, of the Lord thy God.

Forgotten! no; that cannot be,
Sun, moon, and stars may cease to shine,
But thou shalt be remembered still,
For thou art His, and He is thine.

Forgotten of the Lord thy God!
No, Israel, no, that cannot be,
He chose thee in the days of old,
And still His favour rests on thee.

Horatius Bonar

O, Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me -Isa. 44:21
