     Em                 D 
Lift up your hearts, Emmanuel's friends 
    G         D               Em 
And taste the pleasure Jesus sends 
    Em                D  
Let nothing cause you to delay 
    G      D               Em 
But hasten in the good old way 

      G                    D 
For I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul 
   Em                  Bm 
I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul 
      Em                  D  
And I know I have, and I feel I have 
   G            D           Em 
A sweet hope of glory in my soul 

     Em                     D 
Our conflicts here, though great they be 
       G               D    Em 
Shall not prevent our victory 
   Em                D  
If we but strive and watch and pray 
      G       D               Em 
Like soldiers in the good old way 


Chorus 

        Em            D 
Though Satan may his powers employ 
    G         D          Em 
Our happiness for to destroy 
     Em               D 
But never fear, we'll gain the day 
   G        D               Em 
By marching in the good old way 


Chorus 

   Em                 D 
Ye valiant souls, for heaven contend 
  G        D              Em 
Remember glory is at the end 
    Em                 D 
Our God will wipe our tears away 
     G           D               Em 
When we have run in the good old way 


Chorus 

    Em              D 
And far beyond this mortal shore 
      G           D                  Em 
We'll meet with those who have gone before 
   Em                      D  
And shout to think we have gained the day 
   G        D               Em 
By marching in the good old way 

      G                    D 
For I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul 
   Em                  Bm 
I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul 
      Em                  D  
And I know I have, and I feel I have 
   G            D           Em 
A sweet hope of glory in my soul.
