The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#13

13. Precious Hope

1 Precious is the hope that in Jesus we cherish,
Fairer than the crowns of all kingdoms is He;
Richer far than gold are the treasures He brings us,
Dearer to my heart than the wealth of the sea.

Refrain:
Dearer to me, dearer to me,
Dearer than the world and its glory is He;
I count but as nothing all the wealth of the sea,
Compared with the joy He has purchased for me.

2 Precious is the thought, He will lead all His people,
Lead them to the land where no sorrow is known;
Nothing shall be lost that we trust in His keeping,
Nothing shall be lost that He claims for His own. [Refrain]

3 Blessed are the souls whom He calls to His kingdom;
They shall enter in thro’ the gateways of gold;
They shall have a right to the pleasures eternal,
Evermore the face of the King to behold. [Refrain]
