How Cheering Is the Christian's Hope
Verse 1
It bouys us up while this passing through
This wilderness of woe,
It bouys us up while passing through
This wilderness of woe.
This wilderness of woe,
It bouys us up while passing through
This wilderness of woe.
Verse 2
Fly, lingering moments, fly, O, fly,
Dear Savior, quickly come!
We long to see Thee as Thou art,
And reach that blissful home.
Dear Savior, quickly come!
We long to see Thee as Thou art,
And reach that blissful home.
Newton's text celebrates Christian hope in the midst of earthly trials.
