"Hope"

[KenH]

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in short meter)

"Hope"

1. If I am bound for heaven,
My name on high enroll'd,
By winds and waves I may be driven,
But hope maintains her hold.

2. With rocks on every hand,
And by huge billows toss'd;
Yea, 'midst vast shoals of legal sand,
My hope shall not be lost.

3. My voyage must be short,
The haven must be nigh;
By heavenly winds I shall be brought,
To that fair port on high.

4. "Good hope," of heavenly form,
Will like an anchor prove,
It shall outride the fiercest storm,
And be absorb'd in love.
