Hope is the bridge

Betwixt joy and despair.

The thread that keeps us afloat

When our lives are laid bare.

Hope is the anchor

Holding wanderers steadfast.

With chains of mercy

And a gentle grasp.

Hope is the lifeline

We cling to in sorrows,

When we are uncertain

What will come of tomorrow.

Hope is a Person,

God in the flesh.

Our Savior and King

In mercy dressed.
