Hope

Do we know if this, our tabernacle, were to be dissolved, We’ve a house not made with hands? Refrain: We have a hope within our souls, Brighter than the perfect day: God has given us His Spirit, And we want the world to hear it, All the doubts are passed away. 2 Blessed hope we have within us is an anchor to the soul, It is both steadfast and sure; It is founded on the promises of Father’s written word, And ’twill evermore endure. [Refrain] 3 Hope has brought us through the dangers and temptations of the past, And we fear not those to come; By her blessings we’ll go forward, while our mortal life shall last, Then we’ll joyously go home. [Refrain] 4 Since we’ve walked the strait and narrow way our path has ever shone Brighter, brighter, day by day; Hope within our hearts assures us it is better farther on, It is brighter all the way. [Refrain] 5 Life will end in joyful singing, “I have fought a faithful fight,” Then we’ll lay our armor down; And our soul will break the cable here, and take its happy flight, To possess a starry crown.
