By
faith the saints of old beheld You; through sorrow and joy You gently
led.
By
faith they reckoned You as faithful, and they clung to ev’ry word
You said.
O,
help me then with eyes that see far with them look to that promise
free.
‘Against
all hope, in hope believe’—You
spoke and so it then shall be.
‘In
hope believe’
and thus receive
this life with You eternally!
O
Lord, my Rock, my God and Savior, my Joy, my life, my all and crown,
Around
me are the noise and clamors of the word that seeks to pull me down.
My
eyes here long to see Your favor, and in this world a glimpse I see.
‘Against
all hope, in hope believe’—You
spoke and so it then shall be.
‘In
hope believe’
and thus receive
this life with You eternally!
Your
eyes are on Your people always, on those who will obey and fear You,
On
those whose hope is in salvation and Your great unfailing Love so
true.
You
will deliver them from judgment and bring their blinded eyes to see.
‘Against
all hope, in hope believe’—You
spoke and so it then shall be.
‘In
hope believe’
and thus receive
this life with You eternally!
O
Lord, we wait in hope for Your help; You are our Rock, our Shield and
fortress.
In
You our hearts rejoice with singing even though by trials we are
oppressed.
Say
to our souls ‘I’m your salvation; My face in heaven you shall
see.’
‘Against
all hope, in hope believe’—You
spoke and so it then shall be.
‘In
hope believe’
and thus receive
this life with You eternally!
