My Soul Shall Rest in Hope

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.
