HOPE . Br T . J . SWAIIT . There is a sweet and lasting pow'r , AVhich clings to ev ' ry heart , And cheers it in life ' s saddest hour , Tho' every joy depart . AVhen all else fadesand seems to leave
, Naught bright within our scope , Tho' dark our lot—altho' we grieve , AA'e feel the pow'r of hope . ; As rainbow tints illume the sky , Whilst still the show ' r descends , So hope , when bitt ' rest grief is nigh , Her sweetest charm oft lends .
And though her love-rays in our pain May oft our hearts deceive , Her's is a pow ' r we trust again , A pow ' r we yet believe . Hope hovers round the social hearth , Irradiating home , She lights the lonely wand'rer ' s path ,
AA'herever he may roam . She leads us on thro' ev'ry trial , And guides us ou our way , Though fortune will not on us smile , Hope whispers " still she may . " And when all earthly joys are sped , Ancl sadness fills the breast , Hope points the way to seek instead The Saviour ' s home of rest .
