Chorus x 2
For I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul For I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul For I know I have and I feel I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul
Our conflicts here though great they be Shall not prevent our victory If we but strive and watch and pray Like soldiers on the good old Way
Chorus x 2
