My soul shall rest in hope,
Rejoicing in His love,
Who, in the dark­ness, gives me light,
And lifts my eyes above.
My soul shall rest in hope,
And live in faith di­vine;
Supremely blest while I can feel
The dear Re­deem­er mine.

Whate’er His will de­nies,
My heart would not re­bel,
But in sub­mis­sion calm­ly say,
He do­eth all things well;
My soul shall rest in hope,
Tho’ mor­tal strength shall fail;
The gen­tle hand that leads me now
Will guide me thro’ the vale.

My soul shall rest in hope,
Till Je­sus bid me rise
To see His face and sing His praise
Beyond the earth­ly skies;
My soul shall rest in hope,
Rejoicing in His love,
Who, in the dark­ness, gives me light,
And lifts my eyes above.
