Do not fear to hope (Rory Cooney)


Do not fear to hope though the wicked and rage and rise –
Our God sees not as we see; success is not the prize.
Do not fear to hope for though the night be long
The race shall not be to the swift, the fight not to the strong.

Look to God when victory
Seems out of justice’s sight
Look to God whose mighty hand
Brought forth the day
From the chaos of the night.

Refrain

Look to God when reason fails
And terror reigns in the night
Look upon the crucified and see beyond
Into Easter’s dawning light

Refrain

Hope is for a pilgrim people
Searching for a promised land.
Hope is like a rose in winter,
Or an open hand.
It celebrates the light of morning
While working in the dark and cold
It gathers us together
To share what we’ve been told

Refrain
