When Human Hopes Toward Thee Aspire

Watch this beautiful performance of this moving song by Swami Kriyananda, recorded in the Temple of Light June 30th, 2024. It's part of his Oratorio "Christ Lives!".

Lyrics:

When human hopes toward Thee aspire,
Dark woods of grief are set afire.
Beyond all reach of earthly skill,
Thy love alone our hearts can fill.

Christ’s light that shone on earth from heaven
Opened for us the inner door.
To all who love the gift is given:
Joy and freedom evermore!
