Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

O Christ our hope, our heart's desire 
O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire, redemption's only spring; Creator of the world art thou, its Savior and its King. 
How vast the mercy and the love which laid our sins on thee, and led thee to a cruel death to set thy people free. 
But now the bonds of death are burst, the ransom has been paid; and thou art on thy Father's throne in glorious robes arrayed. 
O may thy mighty love prevail our sinful souls to spare; O may we come before thy throne, and find acceptance there! 
O Christ, be thou our present joy, our future great reward; our only glory may it be to glory in the Lord. 
All praise to thee, ascended Lord; all glory every be to Father, Son and Holy Ghost, through all eternity.
