Our Hope (Poem)

When wilt thou come, Lord Jesus,
And take us to Thy home?
While here on earth as strangers,
In loneliness we roam.

Though trials sore and heavy
Press down our weary heart;
We’re looking for Thy coming,
When we will never part.

On that resurrection morning,
Thou wilt appear from heaven;
To take us to be with Thee,
Whose sins Thou hast forgiven,

Our hearts will swell with gladness,
When we behold Thy face;
And gaze upon Thy beauty,
Through everlasting days.

Then may we be encouraged,
While waiting for Thee here;
To follow Thee with patience,
Let this our spirits cheer,

The waiting will be over
Our race will then be ran;
When we behold Thy glory,
Far brighter than the sun.
