Hour by hour we trust in Jesus, Hour by hour for strength we pray; Hour by hour the sands are dropping From the glass of time away. Refrain We are going home where the pure and blest In perfect peace with Jesus free from care shall rest; Then let us go on with a happy, happy song, Then let us go on with a happy, happy song; O soon we???ll rest on yonder shore, Rest forevermore. Hour by hour we hear a warning From the spirit-voice within; Hour by hour we meet the tempter, Hour by hour we fall or win. Refrain Hour by hour we journey onward, Hour by hour we stem the tide; Hour by hour we miss the dear ones, Anchored on the other side. Refrain Hour by hour the heart grows fainter, Hour by hour the sunlight dies; Hour by hour we near the portals Of our home beyond the skies. Refrain
