1 Let there be hope today, Lord,
Hope as I watch and pray, Lord,
Hope of a sunlit way, Lord,
In the dark day give hope!

2 Hope when the waves roll high, Lord,
Hope when the winds sweep by, Lord,
Hope through a storm-rent sky, Lord,
Into my heart send hope!

3 Hope that the clouds may clear, Lord,
Hope that dispels each fear, Lord,
Hope because Thou art near, Lord,
So let me wait in hope!

4 “In hope against hope,” I wait, Lord,
Faced by some fast-barred gate, Lord,
Hope never says “Too late,” Lord,
Therefore in Thee I hope!

5 Hope though the night be long, Lord,
Hope of a glowing dawn, Lord,
Morning must break in song, Lord,
For we are “saved by hope.”
