A Hope of Heaven.

A HOPE of heaven illumes my path Bedewed with silent tears, And bids us look to Christ by faith, And on him cast our cares.
A hope of heaven, it cheers the soul, Oppressed with grief and care, And bids us live by God's control, And never more despair.
A hope of heaven, it soothes the mind, When earthly joys are fled, And tells that we may comfort find In Christ our living head.
A hope of heaven and endless rest, It fills the soul with love; It calms the tumult of the breast, And bids us look above.
A hope of heaven, Oh, joyful thought! Oppressed no more with sin, The ransomed by the Saviour bought Shall there his praises sing.
A hope of heaven, to join the throng Redeemed by saving grace; To shout the never-ending song, And see God's smiling face.
A hope of heaven, to dwell with Him Who all our sorrows bore, And there his endless praises sing, Where we shall part no more.
