Verse 1: A lamp in the night, a song in time of sorrow, A great glad hope which faith can ever borrow To gild the passing day with the glory of the morrow, Is the hope of the coming of the Lord. Verse 2: A star in the sky, a beacon bright to guide us; An anchor sure to hold when storms betide us; A refuge for the soul, where in quiet we may hide us, Is the hope of the coming of the Lord. Verse 3: A call of command, like trumpet clearly sounding, To make us bold when evil is surrounding; To stir the sluggish heart, and to keep in goodabounding, Is the hope of the coming of the Lord. Verse 4: A word from the One to all our hearts the dearest, A parting word to make Him aye the nearest; Of all His precious words, the sweetest, brightest, clearest, Is the hope of the coming of the Lord.
