“We have this hope that burns within our hearts
Hope in the coming of the Lord
We have this faith that Christ alone imparts
Faith in the promise of His word
We believe the time is here
When the nations far and near
Shall awaken, shout and sing
Halleluiah, Christ is King
We have this hope that burns within our hearts
Hope in the coming of the Lord”
– Wayne Hooper, Legendary Adventist Composer and member of the King’s Heralds Quartet. The song “We Have This Hope” has been sung by tens of thousands at more General Conference Sessions than any other song. He graduated from Gem State Academy (ID Conf) and later taught music at Portland Adventist Academy (OR Conf). (Click here to read his biography.) On February 28, 2007 he fell asleep in Jesus at his home in Newbury Park, CA at age 86, with the hope of the Second Coming of Jesus in his heart. He Knows What He’s Talking About (H.K.W.H.T.A.)
