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?
