5'Tis dark around, 'tis dark above,

But through the shadow streams the sun;

We cannot doubt thy certain love,

And man's great aim shall yet be won!

1000. 8s. & 7s. M. Montgomery.

Joyful Hope.

1Know, my soul, thy full salvation;

Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;

Joy to find, in every station,

Something still to do, or bear.
