Lyrics: Anon
Hope, thou source of ev'ry blessing,
Parent of each joy divine,
Ev'ry balmy sweet possessing,
Ev'ry promised bliss be thine.
Softest friend, to heart-felt anguish
Lend, O lend, thy pow'rful aid;
Bid the lover cease to languish,
Cheer the fond despairing maid.
Soothe, sweet hope, the maiden's sighing,
For with love the heart's oppressed;
Ever to her sorrows flying,
Thou canst give her joy and rest.
Softest friend, to heart-felt anguish
Lend, O lend, thy pow'rful aid;
Bid the lover cease to languish,
Cheer the fond despairing maid.
Hope, thou source of ev'ry blessing,
Parent of each joy divine,
Ev'ry balmy sweet possessing,
Ev'ry promised bliss be thine.
Softest friend, to heart-felt anguish
Lend, O lend, thy pow'rful aid;
Bid the lover cease to languish,
Cheer the fond despairing maid.
Soothe, sweet hope, the maiden's sighing,
For with love the heart's oppressed;
Ever to her sorrows flying,
Thou canst give her joy and rest.
Softest friend, to heart-felt anguish
Lend, O lend, thy pow'rful aid;
Bid the lover cease to languish,
Cheer the fond despairing maid.
