379 ~ There Is a Blessed Hope
1
There is a blessed hope, More precious and more bright Than all the joyless mockery The world esteems delight.
2
There is a lovely star That lights the darkest gloom, And sheds a peaceful radiance o'er The prospects of the tomb.
3
There is a cheering voice That lifts the soul above, Dispels the painful, anxious doubt, And whispers, "God is love,"
4
That voice from Calvary's height Proclaims the forgiven; That star is revelation's light, That hope, the hope of heaven.
