 1 

Fresh as the dew of the morning,

Bringing a sweet rest unheard,

Christ, in the gentle anointing,

Whispers His comforting word:

Stand till the trial is over,

Stand till the tempest is gone,

Stand for the glory of Jesus,

Stand till the kingdom is won.

 

Lord of all hope, O how

sweet is Thy voice,

Making my heart in Thy

presence rejoice.

 
 2 

If in the test of my trouble,

Faint be my spirit and heart,

Faith, with the star of hope glimm'ring,

Shall all be taken apart,

May then Thy faith with Thy life-pow'r

Over me hold its full sway

That all Thy riches of glory

Now I may share and for aye.

 

Lord of all hope, O how

sweet is Thy voice,

Making my heart in Thy

presence rejoice.

 
 3 

Lord, as the morning sun dawning,

Chase all my darkness away,

And with Thy kind wings of healing

Turn all my night into day.

Come Thou, O come, Lord of comfort,

Come to my sad, weary heart,

Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,

Never, O never depart.

 

Lord of all hope, O how

sweet is Thy voice,

Making my heart in Thy

presence rejoice.
