English poem
SONG LXII. HABAK. chap. iii. 17, 18, 19
by John Glas (1809–1894)
Tho' the fig tree to blossom should cease, And no fruit on the vine should appear; Tho' the labour of th' olive decrease, And the fields with no meat crown the year; From the fold tho' the flocks should decay, And no herd in the stall should be found; In JEHOVAH yet joyful I'll be, In's salvation my joy shall abound.
