Is my hope on the rifted Rock,
Cleft by the Lord for me?
Is my name in the Book of Life?
O that my faith could see!
Refrain
Is it there, is it there,
Bright on the page so fair?
Is it there, is it there,
Safe in my Father’s care?
Do I walk with a steadfast eye
Fixed on the heavenly land?
Is my name in the Book of Life,
Graved by a Savior’s hand?
Refrain
Can I say, with a trusting heart,
Jesus, Thy will, not mine?
Is my name in the Book of Life,
Sealed by His blood divine?
Refrain
When in death I shall calmly sleep,
Jesus, to wake with Thee,
There my name in the Book of Life
Grant that my eye may see.
Refrain
