A Hope in Jesus

If you have a hope in Je­sus

Tho’ that hope be e’er so small

Years

per­haps

you have con­cealed it

Heeding not the Sav­ior’s call.

Oh

to have a hope in Je­sus!

’Tis more pre­cious far than gold;

Come

pro­claim it for His glo­ry

Let the world this pearl be­hold.

Wait not for your friends or loved ones

Waiting nev­er can be blest;

Cast on Je­sus all your bur­dens

Trust Him free­ly for the rest.

Did your hope come un­ex­pect­ed

Not just what you thought ’twould be?

Be not by your doubts af­fright­ed;

Jesus says Come un­to Me.

Come

ye wea­ry

hea­vy la­den

I will sure­ly give you rest.

Think not then your load will light­en

While you will not Him con­fess.
