GOOD HOPE
Don Fortner
(Tune: #355 From Every Stormy Wind That Blows
– LM)
Good hope, through grace, I now possess,
Through
Jesus blood and righteousness.
This
hope, the gift of sov’reign grace,
Secures my
soul in blessed peace.
Good hope, by God the Spirit giv’n,
That I shall
dwell with Christ in heav’n,
This
gift of grace, with faith and love,
Now sets my
heart on things above.
What faith believes, good hope desires,
And love for
Christ my heart inspires,
His
will to do, and magnify His name
‘til I am
glorified.
Amid temptations, trials, and tears,
I’m tossed
with countless doubts and fears.
Yet,
hope, good hope, my anchor strong,
Is Christ
Himself upon His throne!
When death appears, in dread array,
And takes my
final breath away,
Good hope will keep my soul in peace, -
The hope of seeing Jesus’ face!
