How Cheering Is the Christian's Hope
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century Christian hymn that anchors believers' hope in the promise of heaven — a land of rest where the redeemed will reign with Christ and be reunited with those they loved on earth. Its imagery of 'wilderness of woe' and joyful reunion reflects classic Victorian-era eschatological hymnody.
Verse 1
How cheering is the Christian's hope,
While toiling here below!
It bouys us up while this passing through
This wilderness of woe,
Verse 2
It bouys us up while this passing through
This wilderness of woe,
It bouys us up while passing through
This wilderness of woe.
Verse 3
It points us to a land of rest,
Where saints with Christ will reign;
Where we shall meet the loved of earth,
And never part again.
Verse 4
Fly, lingering moments, fly, O, fly,
Dear Savior, quickly come!
We long to see Thee as Thou art,
And reach that blissful home.
