Hope On.

(Selected by Carl P. Lind.)

Though black and angry clouds may rise,' To hide the blue of summer skies From strained and weary waiting eyes, The sun will shine when clouds are gone. And, when God's hand dispels the gloom, The birds will sing, the flowers will bloom, Cheer up, faint heart, "hope on.''

Though steep the way and dark the night, With ne'er a friendly ray of light, And dim and feeble be the sight, Yet happiness waits in the dawn. There, just beyond the darkness, lies

That sweet, sunlighted Paradise. Be brave, poor heart, 'hope on."

For every heartache, every tear, For every patient, struggling year, For every sacrifice made here, When heaven's mystic veil is drawn, A rich reward, ten thousand fold, Will come with happiness untold. "Hope on, dear heart, hope on."
