"HOPE IN GOD." TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OF S.A. MAHLMAN. Hope, my heart, in patience hope,-- Thou at last thy flowers shalt gather; God is full of tender love,-- Childlike speak thou to thy Father. From believing, trusting hearts, The God of mercy ne'er departs. Clouds may come, and clouds may go, Rest upon his goodness always; To those joyful, sunny heights Lead these rough and gloomy pathways; Wakes for aye his Eye of Light,-- Tremble not in storm and night. Anchored on the Eternal Rock, To the heart of God fast clinging, Tell him all thy deepest woes, Before him all thy sorrows bringing; He is kind, and comfort gives To every sorrowing heart that lives. Let true faith strong courage give; Strength the Helper now is sending; Soon thou'lt understand His ways, |
