A Thousand Hopes and Prayers

A thousand hopes, a thousand fears, A thousand prayers, a thousand tears. A thousand acts of good untold, Outweigh five thousand pounds of gold; A thousand hopes in heaven gain An interest that ne'er brings pain; A thousand fears—oh! these will spring And safety o'er thy treasures fling; A thousand prayers for good below, A mine of wealth and peace bestow; A thousand tears from pity's eyes Are jewels bright, set in the skies; A thousand acts of kindness done, A kingdom great by these are won.—Sel.
