O God, You promised
All things will be made new.
Our hopes will be fulfilled in you.
Lord, help our unbelief!

You said,
"Look up! for your redemption is drawing near."
You said,
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Do not fear!"

The groaning universe waits and strains to see
Our coming redemption's reality.
We raise our heads and shout with certainty:
     Look up!
     Our Glorious Redemption,
    Thank God, is very near!
