I Now Have Found for Hope of Heaven

I now have found for hope of Heav­en

An an­chor-ground that firm will hold;

’Twas through the cross of Je­sus giv­en

By God ap­point­ed from of old;

A ground that shall en­dur­ing stay

When earth and skies have passed away

When earth and skies have passed away.

’Tis God’s own mer­cy nev­er end­ing;

Its mea­sure all our thoughts ex­ceeds;

While Je­sus

too

His arms ex­tend­ing

Whose heart for guil­ty sin­ners bleeds

Now with com­pas­sion calls His foes

To flee from sin and end­less woes

To flee from sin and end­less woes.

This love’s a deep

our fol­lies hid­ing;

The death of Christ

a match­less grace

To life and peace our spir­its guid­ing

Where wrath no more shall find a place;

His blood for us is plead­ing still

Let mer­cy all its work ful­fill

Let mer­cy all its work ful­fill!

Upon this ground I rest most firm­ly

Long as the earth my dwell­ing prove;

And wish to serve my God and Sav­ior

Till

dy­ing

I shall rise above

And there

re­joic­ing

shall ad­ore

Unbounded mer­cy ev­er­more

Unbounded mer­cy ev­er­more.
