Hallowed Hope Of Glory

Abide with us and joy begins

At home within the hearts of men

Though they are lowly like a manger

May they be open to this stranger.

Let our hearts freely embrace

The savior as His resting place.

We would open every room

And wait to see your mystery bloom

What was concealed is now revealed

So we declare this mystery, this sacred story

We shall yieldÝ for by His Spirit we are sealed

Christ in us is the Hallowed Hope Of Glory

Abide with us and we in you

Shall find our lives reborn , renewed

We shall never be alone

You never shall forsake your own

Come tabernacle in this place

Make us your templeÝ by your grace

And we will worship you without end

God is with us so we are found In Him

What was concealed is now revealed

So we declare this mystery, this sacred story

We shall yieldÝ for by His Spirit we are sealed

Christ in us is the Hallowed Hope Of Glory
