Author: J. Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #178 (1987) Topics: Pentecost 21 The Christian Hope Lyrics: 1 Jesus our hope, our heart’s desire,
your work of grace we sing:
you are the saviour of the world,
its maker and its king.
2 How vast the mercy and the grace,
how great the love must be,
which led you to a cruel death
to set your people free!
3 But now the chains of death are burst,
the ransom has been paid,
and you are at your Father’s side,
in glorious robes arrayed.
4 All praise to you, triumphant Lord
ascended high in heaven —
to God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
be praise and glory given! Languages: English Tune Title: METZLER
