High Hopes

Tune: University College

(\'Oft in danger, oft in woe\')

********

Hope starts with the gospel shown

Evangels it us make known

The good news shared, forgiveness

Eternal life, nothing less

 

Hope in Jesus, He the one

He the Father\'s only Son

Makes all this here possible

For all who do on Him call

 

Call on Him, salvation take

He the Way to God does make

Going through the narrow gate

And strait pathway, celebrate

 

Hope comes from the Scriptures true

Read each day and find anew

Comforts for each spirit, soul

And for body, be made whole

 

Hope comes from the power sure

Of the Spirit evermore

Holy Spirit, one of three

Person of the Trinity

 

He to guide, to strengthen, fill

With His presence, guard from ill

That we may abound in hope

And joy, in Him daily cope

 

Hope can inspire endurance

To go on with wisdom, sense

Not to give up, not hopeless

Hope will encourage and bless

 

Hope can produce joy, so we

Have good cheer, God\'s servants be

Not downcast, but lively spring

Motivation shall hope bring

 

Hope, it should not be misplaced

Nor be unevenly paced

Hope not in world\'s riches, wealth

That deceive, waylay by stealth

 

Hope of Christ\'s return us gives

Power over sin, He lives

For we know when Him we see

We shall complete like Him be

 

And each one who has this hope

Walks in the light, does not grope

In the darkness, for they do

Purify themselves anew
