Take a moment now and picture the scene
Up ahead on the path are what seem to be
Children laughing at play
In a world free of the fears we once faced

And taking care of this beautiful earth
Are a people that live by our father’s words
Until the Moon is no more
There is the peace we have been waiting for
We will feel his love under the rule of his
Son in the new world to come

Hope is a fire in our hearts
Hope is an anchor that holds us firm
Hope is a light that shines like the Sun
As we see ourselves there in the new world to come

Take a moment now and think of a place
By the mountains and rivers or wide open plains
It’s a place to call home
And now walking in through your front door
There is someone that you know

Holding out his open arms in hopes
Of a tearful embrace​
Feels like forever since you’ve been face-to-face
Even death won’t stop
Our God’s outstretched love in the new world to come

Hope is a fire in our hearts
Hope is an anchor that holds us firm
Hope is a light that shines like the Sun
As we see ourselves there in the new world to come

And ev’ry word from his mouth
Will do all for which he sent it out
Jehovah’s will for this earth is
Fulfilling ev’ry living things’ last wish

Hope is a fire in our hearts
Hope is an anchor that holds us firm
Hope is a light that shines like the Sun
As we see ourselves there in the new world to come

In the new world to come
In the new world to come
In the new world to come
