The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3058

3058. Is It There?

1. Is my hope on the rifted Rock,
Cleft by the Lord for me?
Is my name in the book of life?
O that my faith could see!

Refrain
Is it there, is it there,
Bright on the page so fair?
Is it there, is it there,
Safe in my Father’s care?

2. Do I walk with a steadfast eye
Fixed on the heavenly land?
Is my name in the book of life
Graved by a Savior’s hand? [Refrain]

3. Can I say, with a trusting heart,
Jesus, Thy will, not mine?
Is my name in the book of life,
Sealed by His blood divine? [Refrain]

4. When in death I shall calmly sleep,
Jesus, to wake with Thee,
There my name in the book of life
Grant that my eye may see. [Refrain]
