1 The chain that binds our hope to earth
Has links of sorrow and strife
But there's a chain unbroken chain
That links our hope to the sky.

Refrain:
Oh, wonderful chain (of God's love),
Oh, wonderful chain (of God's love),
That leads from sorrow and strife.
Oh, wonderful chain (of God's love),
Oh, wonderful chain (of God's love),
That links our hope to the sky.

2 Poor fallen man by sin undone
God heard his piteous cry
And let the golden chain descend,
That links our hope to the sky. [Refrain]

3 Oh, blessed chain of hope secure
Each link the Lord devised
To make a chain of endless love
That links our hope to the sky. [Refrain]
