Author: Burnham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #244 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Our Jesus is the god of hope Lyrics: 1 Our Jesus is the God of hope;
He works it by his power;
It holds the weak believer up,
In the distressing hour.
2 The darkest cloud hope pierces through,
And waits upon the Lord,
Expects to prove that all is true
Throughout the sacred word.
3 True hope looks out for blessing great;
And, though they’re long delayed,
Yet hope’s determined still to wait,
Until they are conveyed.
4 Hope long will wait, and wait again,
And ne’er can give it up,
Till the blest Lamb, who once was slain,
Appears the God of hope. Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Hope Scripture: Lamentations 3:24 Languages: English
