Hour by Hour

Hour by hour we trust in Je­sus

Hour by hour for strength we pray;

Hour by hour the sands are drop­ping

From the glass of time away.

We are goi­ng home where the pure and blest

In per­fect peace with Je­sus

Free from care shall rest;

Then let us go on with a hap­py

hap­py song

Then let us go on with a hap­py

hap­py song;

O soon we’ll rest on yon­der shore

Rest for­ev­er­more.

Hour by hour we hear a warn­ing

From the spir­it-voice with­in;

Hour by hour we meet the tempt­er

Hour by hour we fall or win.

Hour by hour we jour­ney on­ward

Hour by hour we stem the tide;

Hour by hour we miss the dear ones

Anchored on the oth­er side.

Hour by hour the heart grows fain­ter

Hour by hour the sun­light dies;

Hour by hour we near the por­tals

Of our home be­yond the skies.
