Altho' the vine its fruit deny,
Altho' the olive yield no oil;
The with�ring fig-tree droop and die,
The fields delude the tiller's toil;
Altho' the stall no herd afford,
And perish all the bleating race;
Yet will I triumph in the Lord,
The God of my salvation praise.
Tho' comfortless my soul remain,
And not a gleam of light appear;
Tho' joy be sought, and sought in vain,
And tho' despair itself be near.
Altho' assurance all be lost,
And blooming hopes out off I see;
Yet will I in my Saviour trust,
And glory that he dy'd for me.
In hope, believing against hope,
My int'rest still in God I claim;
His gracious word shall lift me up�
Salvation is in Jesu�s name.
Soon shall he bring deliv'rance nigh,
And my neglected soul shall find,
And he shall lift my comforts high,
His arms so strong, his heart so kind!
