HOPE'S MISSION.

By Martha Shepard Lippincott

SWEET Hope, thou angel beckoning on, To teach our weary souls to rest Within a haven of sweetest bliss, While earthly cares our faith shall test! Hope is the messenger of faith, Which teaches us in trust to wait Until God's will hath been revealed, To show us what shall be our fate. 'Tis the consoler of the heart, A good physician near at hand, When trials come to overwhelm The trembling earth on which we stand; Hope lifts us in her restful arms, And her sweet consolation lends, Till happiness shall reign again, And sorrow into gladness blends.
MARTHA SHEPARD LIPPINCOTT. Moorestown, N.J.
