1. 1. Take a moment now and picture the scene.

   Up ahead on the path are what seem to be

   Children laughing at play

   In a world free of the fears we once faced.

   And taking care of this beautiful earth

   Are a people that live by our Father’s words:

   “Until the moon is no more”​—

   There is the peace we have been waiting for.

   We will feel His love

   Under the rule of His Son

   In the new world to come.

   (CHORUS)

   Hope is a fire in our hearts.

   Hope is an anchor that holds us firm.

   Hope is a light that shines like the sun

   As we see ourselves there

   In the new world to come.

2. 2. Take a moment now and think of a place

   By the mountains and rivers or wide open plains.

   It’s a place to call home.

   And now walking in through your front door,

   There is someone that you know

   Holding out his open arms in hopes

   Of a tearful embrace​—

   Feels like forever since you’ve been face-to-face.

   Even death won’t stop

   Our God’s outstretched love

   In the new world to come.

   (CHORUS)

   Hope is a fire in our hearts.

   Hope is an anchor that holds us firm.

   Hope is a light that shines like the sun

   As we see ourselves there

   In the new world to come.

   (BRIDGE)

   And ev’ry word from His mouth

   Will do all for which He sent it out.

   Jehovah’s will for this earth is

   Fulfilling ev’ry living things’ last wish.

   (CHORUS)

   Hope is a fire in our hearts.

   Hope is an anchor that holds us firm.

   Hope is a light that shines like the sun

   As we see ourselves there

   In the new world to come,

   In the new world to come,

   In the new world to come,

   In the new world to come.
