Hmmm. Not glory since that's 5 and anyway it's fairly obvious. Any hints?

I don't think it was ever published in a real crossword; it's just
quoted as a favourite by crossword setters. It's a biblical reference.

Charity.

"Ichabod", for the glory has departed (1 Samuel 4:21).

I had to crane my neck for that one.

Oh, right. I could have kept guessing for a million years and never got

belief-without-proof) puts me at a disadvantage here.

I was looking for a word that completed the sentence
"Land of hope and _______" Seven letters.
