My hope rests firm on Jesus Christ He is my only plea Though all the world should point and scorn His ransom leaves me free His ransom leaves me free My hope sustains me as I strive And strain towards the goal Though still I stumble into sin His death paid for it all His death paid for it all My hope provides me with a spur To help me run this race I know my tears will turn to joy The day I see His face The day I see His face My hope is to be with my Lord To know as I am known To serve Him gladly all my days In praise before His throne In praise before His throne
