Our Hope

lyricist: Mary Welch, 1906
Composer: Frederick Stanton

Over the hills the trum­pet is sound­ing

Sounding the beau­ti­ful song

Jesus is coming

soon He is com­ing

Tho’ He has tar­ried so long.

While we are hop­ing

watch­ing and wait­ing

He is pre­par­ing a place;

Yes

He is com­ing

soon to re­ceive us

In His dear lov­ing em­brace.

Wonders and signs all tell the glad sto­ry

Jesus is com­ing again;

Coming to reign in hon­or and glo­ry

Waiting will not be in vain.

Over the hills the trum­pet is sound­ing

Valleys re-echo the strain;

Watchmen in Zi­on

tell the glad sto­ry

Jesus is com­ing again.

Tho’ He is plead­ing still with the Fa­ther

Soon He is com­ing again;

Soon will His plead­ing cease and for­ev­er

For He is com­ing to reign;

Je­sus

come quick­ly

still we are cry­ing

While the time seem­eth so long;

Trusting the pro­mise

still we are wait­ing

Singing the beau­ti­ful song.
