There is a blessed hope,

by Anonymous

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 379 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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.
