"Hope," Poem, undated

Hope

Tis Hope that cheers us on our way,

That light's the path in which we tread,

And points us to a better way,

And lingers near till we are dead.

Tis Hope that comes when grief oppressed,

And smiling luls our cares to sleep,

It heals the wound of deep distress,

And brings a balm for those that weep.

Hope like love was born in heaven,

And sent in pity to our sphere,

A precious boon to mortals given,

To dwell forever with us here.

Then let us ever Hope and love,

With love so strong that none can sever,

And trusting in our God above,

Sing Joyfully, Hope on Hope ever.
