Deferred Hope: Psalm 84

I hope someday
    to find myself
        in holy house of gold.
I hope someday
    to see your face,
        your beauty to behold.
I hope someday
    after the grave
        to hear your wisdom told.

But till that time
    I trust that you
        will walk with me each day.
And till that time
    I’ll trust in you
        to ease life’s painful way.
And till that time
    I’ll trust your strength
        will help me not to stray.

Now help me, Lord,
    to love your ways
        full in you to delight.
And help me, Lord,
    to love in pain
        when day has turned to night.
And let me, Lord,
    by your great love
        to see eternal light.
