Having No Hope

Verse 1

Can sinners hope for heaven, Who love this world so well? Or dream of future happiness, While on the road to hell?

Verse 2

Shall they hosannas sing, With an unhallowed tongue? Shall palms adorn the guilty hand Which does its neighbor wrong?

Verse 3

Thy grace, O God, alone, Good hope can e'er afford! The pardoned and the pure shall see The glory of the Lord.
