Where Ia he who feels Hespondenii
Come here, brother, here's my hand
Take advice and be encouraged,
There IL hope At your command.
What Of that, II clouds be gathering
In your hopeful skies so bright
Trim YOUR lamp, prepare for darkness,
Just the same as tho 'twere night
Don't you know the sky seems brighter
After, than before a Storm
And the sun seems then the happier,
All the living plants to warm.
So IL with us. dear brother.
When misfortune clouds our way;
But wen hnd II we are hopeful,
Fortune smiles upon our way.
Yes, sir When our trials are hardest.
And Il seems our hope must die;
just remember, we can conquer,
Ifwe're earnest, and will try.
Did you say men work against you
That they try TO pull you down.
What Of teAt; Il makes yon stronger
II you work without frown.
Men are made by opposition,
And they daily stronger grow,
As they are, each day, contending
with some hendish, cunning foe.
Yes, dear brother, we're rewarded
In accordance with our worth,
We don't have To feel Respondent
on account OF humble birth.
