\nI saw one weary, sad, and torn,
\nWith eager steps press on the way,
\nWho long the hallowed cross had born,
\nStill looking for the promised day;
\nWhile many a line of grief and care,
\nUpon his brow was furrowed there;
\nI asked what buoyed his spirits up,
\n\u201cO this\u201d said he\u201cthe blessed hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAnd one I saw, with sword and shield,
\nWho boldly braved the world\u2019s cold frown,
\nAnd fought, unyielding, on the field,
\nTo win an everlasting crown.
\nThough worn with toil, oppressed by foes,
\nNo murmur from his heart arose;
\nI asked what buoyed his spirits up,
\n\u201cO this!\u201d said he\u201cthe blessed hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAnd there was one who left behind
\nThe cherished friends of early years,
\nAnd honor, pleasure, wealth resigned,
\nTo tread the path bedewed with tears.
\nThrough trials deep and conflict sore,
\nYet still a smile of joy he wore;
\nO! what can bouy the spirit up?
\n\u2018Tis this alonethe blessed hope.<\/p>\n

\nWhile pilgrims here we journey on
\nIn this dark vale of sin and gloom,
\nThrough tribulation, hate, and scorn,
\nOr through the portals of the tomb,
\nTill our returning King shall come
\nTo tkae His exile captives home,
\nO! what can bouy the spirits up?
\n\u2018Tis this alone\u2013 the blessed hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
