Never Despair.

Traveller, on The lhorny path,
Wearied with thousand cares,
Burdened with thousand wars,
Heavenward lift Thy hopes and prayers;
Shrink no, in the hour Of trial;
Bide thy time in earnest faith;
Bear thee up wi,hou. despairing;
Live as thai one lived, who saith,
After winter comeih summer;
After night returns the day;
After ,empesls, calms, returning,
Fling The threatening clouds away.
Mourning one, with mois,ened eye,
Wrihing under fancied loss,
Think of Chrisi's affections here;
Keep thine eye upon The cross.
Stand thou firm without detection;
"Srand thou steady at Gods will:
And whatever comes upon ,hee,'
Bear il 6rm, remembering still
After winter comeih summer:
After night returns the day;
After iempes,s, Gains, returning,
Fling the threatening clouds away.
Christian, who All bowed down,
By The burden Of Thy woes;
Yet, firm hearted, keep good courage,
Though surrounded by thy fues.
Bear affliclion for His glory;
Bear with patience, sorrows' sting:
Never shrinking, never failing,
Ever yet remembering.
After winter comes the summer;
After night returns The day;
After tempes,s, Gains, returning.
Fling the threatening clouds away.
