Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring in the Christ that is to be. Tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience, and EXPERIENCE HOPE ! Now the GOD OF HOPE fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may ABOUND IN HOPE. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Mercies, and the GOD of all ComfORT: who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the com- selves are comfort ed of God.
