SS&S 184:  A lamp in the night, a song in time of sorrow

1. A lamp in the night, a song in time of sorrow,

A great glad hope which faith can ever borrow

To gild the passing day with the glory of the morrow,

Is the hope of the coming of the Lord.

 

Blessed hope, . . . blessed hope, . . .

Blessed hope of the coming of the Lord ;

How the aching heart it cheers ;

How it glistens through our tears,

Blessed hope of the coming of the Lord.

 

2 A star in the sky, a beacon bright to guide us ;

An anchor sure to hold when storms betide us ;

A refuge for the soul, where in quiet

we may hide us------

Is the hope of the coming of the Lord.

 

3 A call of command, like trumpet  clearly sounding,

To make us bold when evil is surrounding;

To stir the sluggish heart, and to

keep in good abounding-----

Is the hope of the coming of the Lord.

 

4 A word from the One to all our hearts the dearest,

A parting word to make Him aye the nearest ;

Of all His precious words, the sweetest, brightest, clearest,

Is the hope of the coming of the Lord.
