Author: Clarence M. Seamans Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12545 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: While trav’ling thro’ this dreary land Refrain First Line: O blessed hope! O precious hope! Lyrics: 1 While trav’ling thro’ this dreary land,
O’er mountain heights or desert land;
Hope makes the drooping spirits rise
And cheers me on to reach the prize.
Refrain:
O blessèd hope! O precious hope!
It lifts the veil, and now I see
That land of light where comes no night,
Where I shall live eternally.
2 This blessèd hope is dear to me,
It lifts me up till I can see
That jasper city bright and fair,
Beyond this world of toil and care. [Refrain]
3 This world no hope like this can give,
Nor life so sweet as this to live;
No longer I in darkness grope,
For now I walk by light of hope. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SHIRAZ
