 "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.
