For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.
(Malachi 1:11)
Music for Our Mission: Hope of the Nations
Hope of the Nations
by Brian Doerksen
Jesus hope of the nations
Jesus comfort of all who mourn
You are the source of Heaven’s hope on earth
Jesus light in the darkness
Jesus truth in each circumstance
You are the source of Heaven’s light on earth
In history You lived and died
You broke the chains You rose to life
CHORUS
You are the hope living in us
You are the rock in whom we trust
You are the light
Shining for all the world to see.
You rose from the dead conquering fear
Our prince of Peace drawing us near
Jesus our hope living for all who receive
Lord we believe

The song is repeated twice, and the chorus will be repeated once or twice more. It is very moving, and really lifts one’s soul to Christ. It also stresses the global scope of Christ’s work.
