    IV
    Keep hoping on though beaten back
    While yet you hope you cannot lack
    The will to walk the righteous track
    Keep hoping on
    V
    With hope in Him you cannot fail
    To weather out the roughest gale
    Your efforts must at last prevail
    Through hoping on

  2. The Retired Fisherman

    Share Share Post
    The years press cold arms about me
    My place is henceforth on the shore
    I lay down my oars I roll up my sails
    And I'm not going to fish anymore
    I've hauled up my boat on the meadow
    Her anchor is cast on the green
    Where beside her at evening I'll sit and I'll smoke
    And think of the days that have been.
