Hope on, and walk by ¤faith in Him
Who ev¤er lives to ¤in¤ter¤cede;
His cov¤e¤nant He ¤can¤not break,
And He will meet your ¤soul’s deep need.

Hope on, though en¤e¤¤mies re¤proach,
Grieve not at what the ¤scorn¤ers say;
Leave all to Him who ¤hath de¤clared,
“Ven¤geance is mine, I ¤will re¤pay.”

Hope on, though oth¤ers ¤may blas¤pheme,
And let not this your ¤soul ap¤pal;
God’s right¤eous ret¤ri¤¤bu¤tion will
Be met¤ed out to ¤one and all.

Hope on, and glo¤ry ¤in the cross,
And do not think to ¤turn a¤side;
But cleave to Him who ¤bore the shame,
And in the way of ¤truth a¤bide.

Hope on, let noth¤ing ¤dim thy view
Of that fair vis¤age ¤marred for thee;
His love di¤vine will ¤nev¤er fail,
In time or in e¤¤ter¤ni¤ty.
