E. M. Grimes (274/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

E. M. Grimes “UPHELD by hope,” a glorious hope, As days and years roll by; The coming of our Lord and King Is surely drawing nigh. 2 “Upheld by hope,” all toil is sweet, With this glad thought in view, The Master may appear tonight To call His servants true. 3 “Upheld by hope,” that wondrous hope, That I shall see His face, And to His likeness be conformed When I have run the race. 4 “Upheld by hope,” in darkest days Faith can the light descry The deepening glory in the East Proclaims deliverance nigh. 5 “Upheld by hope,” “Beloved one,” I hear the Bridegroom say, “Awake, arise! go forth to meet My chariot on its way.” 6 “Upheld by hope,” how glad the heart, My soul is on the wing, E’en now His hand is on the door, He comes, my glorious King.
