"Good Hope" for this good land yet,
If our faith be active trust,
And not blind belief, which, at each grief,
Still mourns that what must be must.

"Good Hope" for this good land yet,
If we would but trust in God,
And the Christ who came and took our name
To bless, not to turn the sod.

William Rodger Thomson.
