Lyrics
Verse 1
Our rest is in heaven, our rest is not here
Then why should we tremble when trials draw near?
Be still and remember the worst that can come
But shortens our journey and hastens us home
Chorus 1
Christ our glory, Christ our hope
Christ our King forevermore
Be still and remember the worst that can come
But shortens our journey and hastens us home
Verse 2
No hours should be wasted on seeking our joy
And placing our hope in what will be destroyed
We look for a city that hands have not raised
We long for a country that sin has not stained
Chorus 2
Christ our glory, Christ our hope
Christ our King forevermore
We look for a city that hands have not raised
We long for a country that sin has not stained
Verse 3
Though trouble and anguish increase all the more
They cannot compare to the glory in store
Come joy or come sorrow, whatever befalls
The light of the Savior will outshine them all
Chorus 3
Christ our glory, Christ our hope,
Christ our King forevermore
Christ our glory, Christ our hope,
Christ our King forevermore
Christ our glory, Christ our hope,
Christ our King forevermore
Come joy or come sorrow, whatever befalls
The light of the Savior will outshine them all
