[Verse 1]
            D         G       D
We travel through a barren land,
               Bm    A        G   F#
With dangers thick on every hand;
          Em7 F#m                   G
But Jesus guides us through the vale;
        D/F#      G        A7sus4     D
O, The Christian’s hope can never fail.


[Verse 2]
             D       G     D
Huge sorrows meet us as we go,
            Bm    A     G   F#
And devils aim to overthrow;
          Em7  F#m         G
 But vile infernals can’t prevail;
        D/F#      G        A7sus4       D
O, The Christian’s hope shall never fail.


[Verse 3]
               D       G       D
Sometimes we’re tempted to despair,
          Bm      A          G    F#
But Jesus makes us then His care;
               Em7 F#m           G
Though numerous foes our souls assail;
       D/F#      G        A7sus4       D
O, The Christian’s hope can never fail.


[Verse 4]
         D       G       D
We trust upon the sacred word,
               Bm    A        G    F#
The oath and promise of the Lord;
           Em7 F#m                G
And safely through each tempest sail;
        D/F#      G        A7sus4    D
O, The Christian’s hope can never fail
