Hymn 71

Melody
  1. The hope of faith shall not deceive us;
    the Saviour’s words are true and sure.
    Our friends on earth may fail and leave us,
    but Jesus’ faithfulness endures.
    Who limits his dominion ever?
    He rules creation from on high;
    all that his love and grace endeavour
    shall him his power not deny.

  2. That hope must soften all our sorrow.
    Come, fellow pilgrims, heads then high;
    for those who bide salvation’s morrow
    the hills are level, seas are dry.
    O blessedness above all measure,
    O joy when once all grief is banned.
    There is our heart, there is our treasure,
    when we are in the Promised Land.
