The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#688

688. There is a blessed hope

1 There is a blessed hope,
More precious and more bright
Than all the joyless mockery
The world esteems delight.

2 There is a lovely star
That lights the darkest gloom,
And sheds a peaceful radiance o'er
The prospects of the tomb.

3 There is a cheering voice
That lifts the soul above,
Dispels the painful, anxious doubt,
And whispers, "God is love."

4 That voice from Calvary's hight
Proclaims the soul forgiven;
That star is revelation's light,
That hope, the hope of heaven.
