Song of hope

J. Bingham-Abbott

If the sun has hid its light,

If the day has turned to night,

If the heavens are not benign,

If the stars refuse to shine -

Heart of man, lose not thy hope;

Door, there's none, that shall not ope;

Path, ther's none that shall not clear;

Heart of man, why should'st thou fear?

If for years should be thy quest;

If for years thou hast no rest;

If thou circlest earth and sea;

If thou worn and weary be -

Heart of man, lose not thy hope;

Door, there's none, that shall not ope;

Path, ther's none that shall not clear;

Heart of man, why should'st thou fear?
