The Christian's Hope:

By WM. PEPPER.

AIR: “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.”
In this weary world I wait, Thinking of this promise dear, Given by our Lord when he was here with men; How he told of his return, To remove all care, and fear, And redeem all those who should be free from sin.
CHO. Yes, yes, yes, the time is nearing, When the trumpet it shall sound, Oh then let us be prepared, Waiting for the happy day, That we all may with the righteous then be
Oh this world is dark and drear, Satan still seeks to allure, Many snares he sets to trap us far and wide; But if we but trust the Lord, He will help us to endure, Only let us in his promised word confide.
CHO.
So we here will watch and wait, Looking for that happy day, When the Saviour shall appear to claim his own; Then what joy ’twill be for those Who their Saviour still obey, For no sin, nor sorrow, there will e’er be known.
CHO.
WM. PEPPER.
