My hope is not in this life,
Nor this pass - ing
World's re - ward,
But my hope is in a life
That will nev - er fade;
My hope is in You, Jes - us,
Risen King ascend - ed Lord,
Even death it - self could not
Hold You in the grave
And Je - sus You've gone
Be - fore us
And Your faithful - ness
Nev - er fails
In the dark - ness
You re - as - sure us,
You're our an - chor
Beyond the veil
And when the storm
Is rag - ing
And I'm battered by
The waves,
You're my refuge
And my strength
I shall not be moved;
And when the night
Surrounds me
And I cannot see my way,
You will guide me in Your
Right - eous - ness
And Your truth
And though we can - not
See You
We await that glo - rious hour
When this earth - ly veil
Is finally stripped a - way;
And when we hear
That trum - pet
And You come
With awe - some pow'r,
We shall gaze upon
The ra - diance
Of Your face
(Repeat twice)
