Never despond, have hope and cheer

1 Never de­spond, have hope and cheer,
Although thy lot be dark and drear;
Tho’ earth may frown and for­tune hide,
God and thy Sav­ior still ab­ide.

Refrain:
Hope is the rainbow on the cloud,
The pledge of seed and har­vest time;
An an­chor hold­ing in the veil,
The pro­mise of a bright­er clime.

2 There is a pledge of God’s own hand,
To guide thee thro’ this de­sert land;
It gives thee hope along the way
That leads thee to the realms of day. [Refrain]

3 Courage in­fused with­in the heart
Will help each one fulfill his part;
Let Christ­ian love fill ev­ery soul,
And cheer the path­way to its goal. [Refrain]
