There is a hope that burns within my heart

That gives me strength for every passing day

A glimpse of glory now revealed in meagre part

Yet drives all doubt away

I stand in Christ, with sins forgiv’n

And Christ in me, the hope of heav'n

My highest calling and my deepest joy

To make His will my home

There is a hope that lifts my weary head

A consolation strong against despair

That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit

I find the Saviour there

Through present suff'rings, future's fear

He whispers “Courage!” in my ear

For I am safe in everlasting arms

And they will lead me home

There is a hope that stands the test of time

That lifts my eyes beyond the beck'ning grave

To see the matchless beauty of a day divine

When I behold His face

When suff'rings cease and sorrows die

And every longing satisfied

Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul

For I am truly home
