LET there be hope today, Lord,
Hope as I watch and pray, Lord,
Hope of a sunlit way, Lord,
In the dark day give hope.
2
Hope when the waves roll high, Lord,
Hope when the winds sweep by, Lord,
Hope through a storm-rent sky, Lord,
Into my heart send hope.
3
Hope that the clouds may clear, Lord,
Hope that dispels each fear, Lord,
Hope because Thou art near, Lord,
So let me wait in hope.
4
In hope ’gainst hope, I wait, Lord,
Faced by some fast-barred gate, Lord,
Hope never says too late, Lord,
Therefore in Thee I hope.
5
Hope though the night be long, Lord
Hope of a glowing dawn, Lord,
Morning must break in song, Lord,
For we are saved by hope.
