Hope of the Righteous

Verse 1

Beyond this world of toil and care, Beyond this veil of gloom; There is a land, a happy land, A place we call our home.

Chorus

Oh, yes, we’ll trust Him while we live! We’ll trust Him when we die; And then when all our work is done, We’ll reign with Him on high.

Verse 2

Oh, what a blessed hope is this, An anchor to the soul; And if we do our Savior’s will, We’ll safely reach the goal.

Verse 3

God says, “Ye must be born again”; To us this truth is giv’n; And if we do not His commands, We shall not enter heav’n.

Verse 4

To enter heav’n we must be pure And holy in His sight; And every day we surely must Be walking in the light.

Verse 5

We’ll pray for God to keep our feet Upon the Corner Stone; We’ll give our hearts and lives to Him, For we are not our own.
