We have this hope that burns within our heart,
Hope in the coming of the Lord.
We have this faith that Christ alone imparts,
Faith in the promise of His Word.
We believe the time is here,
When the nations far and near
Shall awake, and shout and sing
Hallelujah! Christ is King!
We have this hope that burns within our heart,
Hope in the coming of the Lord.

We are united in Jesus Christ our Lord.
We are united in His love.
Love for the waiting people of the world,
People who need our Savior’s love.
Soon the heav’ns will open wide,
Christ will come to claim His bride,
All the universe will sing
Hallelujah! Christ is King!
We have this hope this faith, and God’s great love,
We are united in Christ.

Amen. We have this Hope in Christ's Return
When did they add a 2nd verse to this song? Been an SDA all my life and never saw a second verse to this song before today. Who added the 2nd verse?
Also the 2nd verse isn’t in all hymnals either.
1995- The Theme for the 1995 General Conference was “United in Christ” or something like that. The verse was added for the GC. Hymnals printed since then will have the second verse.
I cut and pasted the words to a sheet of paper for song service today. When I announced the 2nd verse, I saw puzzled faces in the audience and nobody singing. Someone whispered, “there is no 2nd verse.” Could have been embarrassing. During potluck someone explained like Marilyn that a 2nd verse had been added later. Such a wonderful song!
What would we do if we didn't have this hope? Jesus, I thank you for the hope that I have in You.
Jesus Christ is that Blessed Hope. Father God Please!!! help us to remember that the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!! Amen! Amen! and Amen!
I myself was struck by see a second verse. I grew up singing this song and it came to my mind this morning so I looked it up to sing it. I was surprised to see the second verse.
