Hope in Heaven

There is hope in Heaven

Where an emerald rainbow shines

Round the throne resplendent

With the glory of the Divine;

Hope for helpless sinners

Who by gracious, transforming pow’r

Loved and trusted Jesus

And were cleansed by mercy’s show’r

There is hope in Heaven

Even though a stern God frowns

With fierce wrath and vengeance

At the debt Adam’s race yet owns…

But amidst the fallen,

Christ the Shepherd sends His call

To flocks from every nation

And in grace shall He save them all.

There is hope in Heaven

Where rejoice an unnumbered throng

Around the Lamb and Lion,

Lifting up a new, heartfelt song.

Vileness, pain and sorrow

Are erased from each heart and face

And hope is changed to gladness

In the Heaven of Christ’s embrace.
