From 1 Peter 1:6-7:  “In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

Blessed Jesus Christ

His mercy shares love

Brings forth faith’s new birth

Hope stirs from above

Resurrected Christ

His unfading light

He walks among us

Hope ready for flight

Revealed through Jesus

Grace walks within Him

Freed from sin’s darkness

Hope breathes with each hymn

Spirit filled by Christ

More precious than gold

Molds faith’s salvation

Hope rebuilds foothold

Trust in Jesus Christ

Father’s righteous Son

Called to embrace Him

Hope’s faith in the One

From 1 Peter 1:13:  “Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when He is revealed.”
