“Hope Thou in God”

By Mrs. Mattie Haskell

MRS. MATTIE HASKELL

“Hope thou in God,” nor be dismayed Though Satan has his hosts arrayed. “Hope thou in God,”—the God of hope,— His power he’ll give with sin to cope. “Hope thou in God,” in him alone Is power to change the heart of stone.

“Hope thou in God;” make him thy trust, For he alone can keep thee just. “Hope thou in God,” nor hope in vain, For soon must end sin’s awful reign. “Hope thou in God;” on him depend For strength to keep until the end.

“Hope thou in God” (grasp thou this thought), Who in the past such wonders wrought. “Hope thou in God,” and there shall be A path made through thy testing sea. “Hope thou in God,” who’ll overthrow The walls as high as Jericho.

“Hope thou in God;” thou shalt come through The furnace fires confronting you. “Hope thou in God.” On gallows high Did Haman hang—not Mordecai. “Hope thou in God;” so shalt thou see Deliv’rance sure, prepared for thee.

“Hope thou in God,” to him be true; A noble work has he for you. “Hope thou in God;” this message give That other souls may hope and live. “Hope thou in God;” let these words ring Until our Lord shall come—as King.
