 1 

Pressed out of measure, pressed beyond all length;

Pressed so intensely, seeming beyond strength;

Pressed in the body, pressed within the soul,

Pressed in the mind till darksome surges roll.

 

God is my hope and God is my joy;

He is the resurrection life I enjoy.

 
 2 

Pressure by foes, and pressure from our friends;

Pressure on pressure, till life nearly ends;

Pressed into knowing none to help but God,

Pressed into loving both the staff and the rod.

 

God is my hope and God is my joy;

He is the resurrection life I enjoy.

 
 3 

Pressed into liberty where nothing clings,

Pressed into faith for hard and hopeless things;

Pressed into life, a life in Christ the Lord,

Pressed into life, the life of Christ outpoured.

 

God is my hope and God is my joy;

He is the resurrection life I enjoy.
