The Hope of Jesus

The hope of Jesus soothes my soul

Sweet comfort in life’s trial and tear

The cross from which His pardon rolls

Soothes me when I would faint in fear

The hope of Jesus fills my heart

Life’s weight of care would crush my joy

Save for the peace His grace imparts

Where evil threatens to destroy

The hope of Jesus draws me on

For this is but a transient flight

To Heaven’s fair and final dawn

When at sweet last faith becomes sight

Hope; oh, precious gift of God

Beacon of promise in life’s pain

Until we leave this troubled sod

To where we never hope again

1 Corinthians 15:19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18  So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
