The Hope of the World is Loving. Tune, "The Light of the World is Jesus', in G. H., 41. Away with all thought that is selfish and cold, The hope of the world is loving; Doing thy will the spirit is free. How dark is the soul in its bondage of sin- And all the sad faces of earth shall be glad, The hope of the world is loving; The deserts shall bloom, and with laughter be clad, The hope of the world is loving! Oh, joy then to live for the spirit's release- 10 Father, I need thee! dangers are near; Thou shalt o'ercome!" Father, I hear thee! hear and obey, Father, I trust thee! thou wilt defend, Keep a brave, cheerful heart; I shall not fall. SAMUEL LONGFELLOW The world hath its share; Go bury it deeply, Go hide it with care; Go think of it calmly When curtained by night; Thy God will sustain thee, And all will be right. Go gather the sun-light He sheds on thy way; Go tell it the Father, He'll send thee relief; Go give them the sunshine,- MARY A. BULLOCK.

Cho.: For we trust in the Lord, And his kingdom will come by and by! There's a Love that is deeper than all, And it pulses in life everywhere: Neither failure nor loss can befall, When we rest in the Infinite Care. Cho.: For we live in the Lord, And his kingdom will come by and by! EMMA E. MAREAN. |
