387 ~ How Cheering Is the Christian's Hope

1

How cheering is the Christian's hope, While toiling here below! It bouys us up while this passing through This wilderness of woe,

2

It points us to a land of rest, Where saints with Christ will reign; Where we shall meet the loved of earth, And never part again.

3

A Land where sin can never come, Temptations ne'er annoy, Where happiness will ever dwell, And that without alloy.

4

In that bright world no tears will flow, Death ne'er can enter there; For all who gain that heavenly land Will be as angels are.

5

Fly, lingering moments, fly, O, fly, Dear Savior, quickly come! We long to see Thee as Thou art, And reach that blissful home.
