Rejoicing in Hope

Verse 1

O joyful sound of gospel grace! Christ shall in me appear, Christ shall in me appear! I, even I, shall see His face; I shall be holy here, I shall be holy here.

Verse 2

The glorious crown of righteousness To me reached out, I view, To me reached out, I view; Conqueror through Him, I soon shall seize And wear it as my due, And wear it as my due.

Verse 3

The promised land from Pisgah’s top I now exult to see, I now exult to see; My hope is full, O glorious hope! Of immortality, Of immortality.

Verse 4

With me, I know, I feel, Thou art; But this cannot suffice, But this cannot suffice, Unless Thou plantest in my heart A constant paradise, A constant paradise.
