Hope of earth and joy of Heaven.

As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.

Hope of earth and joy of Heaven.

How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ!

At the Name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in Heaven we'll crown Him,
When our journey is complete.

Hope of earth and joy of Heaven;
Precious name .... O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of Heaven.
