Hope On

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 to­day

Will break in smiles to­mor­row.

Hope on

hope on

though dark and deep

The sha­dows ga­ther o’er thee;

Be not dis­mayed; thy Sav­ior holds

The lamp of life be­fore thee;

And if He will that thou to­day

Shouldst tread the vale of sor­row

Be not afraid

but trust and wait;

The sun will shine to­mor­row.

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.
