The Cyber Hymnal 12049. "Upheld by hope"—a glorious hope

The Cyber Hymnal‎#12049

1 "Upheld by hope"—a glorious hope
As days and years roll by;
The coming of our Lord and King
Is surely drawing nigh.

2 "Upheld by hope" all toil is sweet
With this glad thought in view,
The Master may appear tonight
To call His servants true.

3 "Upheld by hope"—that wondrous hope,
That I shall see His face,
And to His likeness be conformed
When I have run the race.

4 "Upheld by hope" in darkest days
Faith can the light descry:
The deep’ning glory in the east
Proclaims deliv’rance nigh!

5 Upheld by hope, "Belovèd one,"
I hear the Bridegroom say,
"Awake! Arise! Go forth to meet
My chariot on its way."

6 "Upheld by hope," how glad the heart!
My soul is on the wing!
E’en now His hand is on the door
He comes—my glorious king!
