Hymns We Love, for Sunday Schools and All Devotional Meetings ‎#56

56. Hope of the ages

1 Attending the rites of the passover feast
Were strangers in Judah from far away Greece;
To Philip they came with their urgent request,
“Sir we would see Jesus, that we may be blest.”

Refrain:
Hope of the ages,
Sung by earth’s sages,
Speak to the weary Thy comfort and rest;
Bringing salvation
To every nation—
We would see Jesus, that we may be blest.

2 “We’ve heard how the Master gives sight to the blind,
With mercies unnumbered He blesses mankind;
The lepers are cleansed and the sin-sick are healed;
To us be the Saviour of all men revealed.” [Refrain]

3 We too would behold Him, the Saviour divine,
We fain would adore Him and kneel at His shrine;
O blessed Redeemer, fulfill our request;
For in Thy salvation all nations are blest. [Refrain]
