Verse 1

[G]I saw one [D7]weary, sad, and torn,
Wit[G]h eager st[D7]eps press on the way,
Wh[G]o long the[D7] hallowed cross had born,
Stil[G]l loo[C]king f[G]or[D] the [G]promised day;
[G]While many a [D7]line of grief and care,
U[G]pon h[D]is [Em]brow[D] was furrowed there;
I[G] asked what bu[D]oye[D7]d his spirits up,
“O[G] this” [C]said [G]he-“[D]the[G] blessed hope.”

Verse 2

[G]And one I sa[D7]w, with sword and shield,
Wh[G]o boldly br[D7]aved the world’s cold frown,
An[G]d fought, uny[D7]ielding, on the field,
To[G] win[C] an [G]ev-e[D]r-la[G]st-ing crown.
[G]Though worn wit[D7]h toil, oppressed by foes,
No[G] mur[D]mur [Em]from[D] his heart arose;
I[G] asked what bu[D]oye[D7]d his spirits up,
  G   C   G  D  G
“O this!” said he-“the blessed hope.”

Verse 3

[G]And there wa[D7]s one who left behind
Th[G]e cherished f[D7]riends of early years,
An[G]d honor, p[D7]leasure, wealth re-signed,
To[G] tread[C] the [G]path[D] be[G]dewed with tears.
[G]Through trials [D7]deep and conflict sore,
Ye[G]t stil[D]l a s[Em]mile[D] of joy he wore;
O![G] what can b[D]ouy[D7] the spirit up?
‘Ti[G]s this[C] a-lone[G]--th[D]e [G]blessed hope.

Verse 4

[G]While pilgrim[D7]s here we journey on
In[G] this dark [D7]vale of sin and gloom,
Throu[G]gh tribu[D7]lation, hate, and scorn,
Or[G] throug[C]h the[G] po[D]r-t[G]als of the tomb,
[G]Till our ret[D7]urning King shall come
To[G] take [D]Hi[Em]s ex[D]ile captives home,
O![G] what can b[D]uoy[D7] the spirits up?
   G   C   G   D G
‘Tis this a-lone – the blessed hope.
