Representative Text

1 What a blessed hope is mine,
Thro’ the love of Jesus;
I’m an heir of life divine,
Thro’ the love of Jesus.

Refrain:
He will my soul defend;
He, my unchanging Friend;
He will keep me to the end:
All glory be to Jesus.

2 I can sing without fear,
Praise the name of Jesus;
He, my present help, is near,
Praise the name of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Pressing on my pilgrim way,
Trusting only Jesus,
O ‘tis joy from day to day,
Trusting only Jesus. [Refrain]

4 Thus my journey I’ll pursue,
Looking unto Jesus,
Till the land of rest I view,
There to dwell with Jesus. [Refrain]
