Hope-On-River.

Hope-On-River leads to bliss; Who would such a journey miss? O'er the waters, limpid, sweet, Floating to the Saviour's feet.

Hope-On-River is divine, Fairer than the storied Rhine; On its bosom homeward glide, Moving with the gentle tide.

Hope-On-River runs for all, Runs beyond the jasper wall— Runs to weary pilgrims bear Past the portals of despair.

Hope-On-River ever flows, Purest, sweetest, mortal knows, On its waters float to rest In the city of the blest.
