HOPE ON.

HOPE on hope on! God yet may hear thy praying;
God yet may mark the wild tears thou hast shed;
There may be mercy in the long delaying—
A richer, holier blessing for its staying,

Pour'd on thy head.

Hope on.

Hope on and through the dreary night of weeping, Think thou art watching with thy suff'ring God, And through the long dark hours sad vigil keepingThy mourning soul, its sin and misery steeping,

With Him, in tears of blood.

Hope on.

Hope on! and think the cup which thou art drinking, The bitter chalice of His agony;

Nor deem He loves thee less for all thy shrinking, Like thine, His heart 'neath grief and pain is sinking, He suffers all with thee.

Hope on.

Hope on and when thy grief and fear are deep'ning,
And all of joy for ever seemeth gone,
Then with thy agonizing Saviour weeping,
Yet still the words of meek submission speaking,
"Father! Thy will be done."

Hope on.

Hope on! 'tis in the hour of deepest mourning,

God sends his strength'ning angel from above; The weary heart, from earthly comfort turning, Shall know, in answer to its passionate yearning, His tenderest love.

Hope on.

Hope on! 'tis but His best-beloved and dearest
He taketh thus to share his saddest hour;
They who His loving heart lie ever nearest,
And they for whom the hope of heaven is clearest,
Feel most grief's power.

Hope on.

Hope on and if all hope on earth should fail thee,

And if all peace from thy sad heart be riven,—

If every grief life knoweth should assail thee,
Sit thou not weakly down, and there bewail thee:
There's joy in heaven!

Baltimore "Metropolitan."

Hope on !

ANGELS.

WHERE the light streams on the abbey floor,
Through the tall windows, through the low door;
Into the abbot's room, down the broad stair,
Pure in its wanderings-Angels are there!

Where the white tapers dream in the day,
Timidly beaming each tremulous ray,
Milder than noonday staining the air,
Meek in their mellowness-Angels are there!

Where in the beauteous nook, loved and alone,
Stands the bright Virgin's shrine, purity's own!
Children decking it ope-lipp'd with prayer,
Pallid with earnestness-Angels are there!

Where on the altar high, sacred and bright,
Stand the tall chalices, clothed with light;
When the blest "Sanctus" rings thro' the still air,
Wreathing their myriad wings, Angels are there!

Angels crowd joyously, hailing the Lamb,
Into Jerusalem, burthen'd with palm!

"Sanctus," they fondly sing, bright'ning the air; Round heaven's glorious King-Angels are there!
