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 tomorrow.
Hope on, hope on!
The 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 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 ev’ry storm;
A joy for ev’ry sorrow;
A night from which the soul shall wake
To hail an endless tomorrow.
