     marker 99|  |  |  |  | Be strong to hope, oh heart !
 Though day is bright,
 The stars can only shine
 In the dark night.
 Be strong, oh heart of mine,
 Look towards the light !
 
 
 Be strong to bear, oh heart !
 Nothing is vain :
 Strive not, for life is care,
 And God sends pain :
 Heaven is above, and there
 Rest will remain !
 
 
 Be strong to love, oh heart !
 Love knows not wrong ;
 Didst thou love creatures even
 Life were not long ;
 Didst thou love God in heaven,
 Thou wouldst be strong !
