How Cheering Is the Christian’s Hope

How cheer­ing is the Christ­ian’s hope

While toil­ing here be­low!

It buoys us up while pass­ing through

This wil­der­ness of woe.

It buoys us up while pass­ing through

This wil­der­ness of woe.

It points us to a land of rest

Where saints with Christ will reign;

Where we shall meet the loved of earth

And nev­er part again.

Where we shall meet the loved of earth

And nev­er part again.

Fly

lin­ger­ing mo­ments

fly

O fly;

Dear Sav­ior

quick­ly come!

We long to see Thee as Thou art

And reach that bliss­ful shore.

We long to see Thee as Thou art

And reach that bliss­ful shore.
