Hope on, hope on, O troubled heart ! If doubts and fears o'ertake thee, Remember this-----the Lord hath said, He " never will forsake thee." Then murmur not, still bear thy lot, Nor yield to care or sorrow; Be sure the clouds that frown to-day Will break in smiles to-morrow.
2. Hope on, hope on ! though dark and deep The shadows gather o'er thee; Be not dismayed : thy Saviour holds The Lamp of Life before thee. And if He will that thou to-day Shouldst tread the vale of sorrow, Be not afraid ; but trust and wait----- The sun will shine to-morrow.
3. Hope on, hope on ! go bravely forth, Through trial and temptation; Directed by the Word of truth, So full of consolation. There is a calm for every storm ; A joy for every sorrow ; A night from which the soul shall wake To hail an endless morrow.
