Now, may God – the splendid God of hope –
The One who gives grace and strength to cope –
May He fill you, complete you, to the very brim
With deep and meaningful thoughts of Him.
Our hope is certain, assured, it will be
Fulfilled in eternal reality.
He'll fill you with all joy, deeper than happiness
So you'll stay strong, despite any distress.
May this loving God also grant you peace
Soul-calming and restful, for He gives release,
As you trust in Him … for He’s worthy of trust!
Count on Him, have faith – that’s a must.
In fact, may your hope even overflow
By God’s Spirit, giving that special glow
His Spirit has such enormous power
To meet our needs, hour by hour.
This most glorious God is worthy of praise,
I’ll serve Him with love, to the end of my days.
