Verse 1
Blessed hope that in Jesus is given
In our sorrow to cheer and sustain,
That soon with our Saviour in heaven
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
Chorus
Blessed hope!...Blessed hope!...
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
Verse 2
Blessed hope in the Word God has spoken,
All our peace by that Word we obtain;
And as sure as God's Word was ne'er broken
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
Chorus
Blessed hope!...Blessed hope!...
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
Verse 3
Blessed hope! how it shines in our sorrow
Like the star over Bethlehem's plain,
That it may be, with Him, ere the morrow
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
Chorus
Blessed hope!...Blessed hope!...
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
Verse 4
Blessed hope! the bright star of the morning
That shall herald His coming to reign;
O the glory that waits its fair dawning
When we meet with our loved ones again.
Chorus
Blessed hope!...Blessed hope!...
We shall meet with our loved ones again.
