The Candle of Hope

(To the tune of: "O Worship the King, All Glorious Above!")

The candle of hope we light in this hour Proclaims that the Lord is coming in power. We wait for a future, now hidden from view,

When Christ in his glory will make all things new.

The candle of peace shines bright with God's plan; The wolf will lie down and dwell with the lamb.

Our guns and our weapons, our hatred and war, Will give way to gardens that heal and restore.
