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.
