Certain Hope

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

No pain, and not in need;
completely blessed, and freed
from evil, sin and all
brought on us by the fall.
    Certain hope:
    we know Christ is there;
    Jesus has promised
    our home to prepare.

No fault, or weariness;
temptations cannot press;
no sight of wickedness;
no discontent, distress.

There goodness is complete;
and fellowship so sweet
with God, and with his Son:
we’ll see him on the throne.

With all God’s saints we’ll praise;
fulfilled for endless days;
pure joy, and glory, rest;
in perfect service blest.
    Certain hope,
    beyond all compare;
    righteous, rejoicing,
    and worshipping there.

"They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelarion 21:3,4
