1. O Jehovah, you have given us

a hope that we hold dear.

It’s a hope we find so thrilling

we want the world to hear.

But at times this life’s anxieties

are the cause of fears within,

And the hope that burned so brightly

has suddenly grown dim.

2. So Jehovah, please instill in us

a heart that won’t forget,

For you’ve always been our comfort

when troubled times we’ve met.

And these thoughts that lift and strengthen us

can revive that dying flame,

For they fill our hearts with courage

to speak about your name.
