My soul shall rest in hope
Rejoicing in His love
Who
in the darkness
gives me light
And lifts my eyes above.
My soul shall rest in hope
And live in faith divine;
Supremely blest while I can feel
The dear Redeemer mine.
Whate’er His will denies
My heart would not rebel
But in submission calmly say
He doeth all things well;
My soul shall rest in hope
Tho’ mortal strength shall fail;
The gentle hand that leads me now
Will guide me thro’ the vale.
My soul shall rest in hope
Till Jesus bid me rise
To see His face and sing His praise
Beyond the earthly skies;
My soul shall rest in hope
Rejoicing in His love
Who
in the darkness
gives me light
And lifts my eyes above.
