Light in the Valley ‎#190

190. What is Your Hope Beyond?

1 Sinner, on life's stormy ocean,
What is your hope beyond?
When ceases this life's commotion,
What is your hope beyond?
Thoughts of the past keep repeating,
"Life like a shadow is fleeting,"
Are you prepared for death's greeting?
What is your hope beyond?

Chorus:
Sinner, the moments are flying,
Men all around you are dying;
Soon in the grave you'll be lying,
What is your hope beyond?

2 Mercy stands tenderly pleading,
What is your hope beyond?
She is for you interceding,
What is your hope beyond?
Prayers for your sake are ascending,
Angels above you are bending;
Think of that life never ending,
What is your hope beyond? [Chorus]

3 Sinner, the Saviour is calling,
What is your hope beyond?
Can you not see his blood falling?
What is your hope beyond?
Think of Gethsemane's garden,
No longer now your heart harden;
In Jesus Christ there is pardon,
What is your hope beyond? [Chorus]
