Hope on, hope on, O troubled heart!
If doubts and fears o’er-take thee,
Remember this— the Lord hath said,
He "never will forsake thee."
Then murmur not, still bear thy lot,
Nor yield to care or sorrow;
Be sure the clouds that frown today
Will break in smiles tomorrow.

Hope on, hope on! The dark and deep
The shadows gather o’er thee;
Be not dismayed; thy Saviour holds
The Lamp of Life before thee,
And if He will that thou today
Shouldst tread the vale of sorrow;
Be not afraid; but trust and wait—
The sun will shine tomorrow.

Hope on, hope on! Go bravely forth
Through trial and temptation;
Directed by the Word of truth,
So full of consolation,
There is a calm for ev'ry storm;
A joy for ev'ry sorrow;
A night from which the soul shall wake
To hail an endless tomorrow.
