OUR HOPE

Oh Lord our God in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter in the storm gale
and our eternal hope

A dark storm approaches
Thick fog obscures the light
No hope of letting; 
Cold wet and dreary
Still a present help You are
A steady anchor, that will not falter

Oh Lord our God
Our light, our path
Our shelter in the stormy gale
Your promise is our home

In the fire and on a stake
Amidst ridicule, shame and abuse
Rejected and abandoned
The saints of old did yet hold on 
And in death confessed You their God

Oh Lord our God 
The God of might
Our commander and yet our comfort
No life has in vain been lost in You
Our eternal place of rest

In the here and now
A strange darkness engulfs
Deception keeps the light out from men
But the steadfast seek out the truth
And those who seek Him
Surely find Him
They will find their eternal home

Oh Lord our God, 
The God of truth
our wisdom and our strength 
Our everlasting King
Our hope, our rest and home is You
