Hope on, hope ev¤er, ¤strug¤gling soul,
By fears and fail¤ures ¤un¤dis¤mayed;
The God who rules the ¤rag¤ing sea,
Will hold thy hand, be ¤not a¤fraid.

Hope is an an¤chor ¤of the soul
The storms of life can ¤nev¤er move
And reach¤es far with¤¤in the veil,
The depths of His great ¤love to prove.

Hope on, and sing a¤¤mid the gloom,
Though lone and drear the ¤des¤ert way–
Faith sheds her ra¤diant ¤light a¤far,
Leads on to God and ¤cloud¤less day.

Hope on, a bet¤ter ¤day will dawn,
The day of Christ is ¤nigh at hand–
When right¤eous¤ness and ¤peace shall reign
In eve¤ry clime, in ¤eve¤ry land.

Hope on, hope ev¤er ¤to the end,
Though fierce and long the ¤bat¤tle strife;
How sweet to hear the ¤Mas¤ter say,
“Well done, come en¤ter ¤in¤to Life.”
