Analysis of The candle of Hope

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Hope for the hopeless and hope for the lost.
No matter the price, whatever the cost.
Jesus had come and was willing to pay,
being born as a baby that first Christmas day.

Hope that's a certainty, hope that is sure.
Though the earth is shaken we are secure.
Trusting in Jesus and safe in His care.
Knowing that  He's with us and always there.
