Hymn #379

There Is a Blessed Hope

Verse 1

There is a blessed hope,
More precious and more bright
Than all the joyless mockery
The world esteems delight.

Verse 2

There is a lovely star
That lights the darkest gloom,
And sheds a peaceful radiance o'er
The prospects of the tomb.

Verse 3

There is a cheering voice
That lifts the soul above,
Dispels the painful, anxious doubt,
And whispers, "God is love,"

Verse 4

That voice from Calvary's height
Proclaims the forgiven;
That star is revelation's light,
That hope, the hope of heaven.
