Hover colour of hyperlink in HTML

Question

I'd like to make it so that when the mouse hovers over my hyperlink it changes colour. As it stands it remains black and so it is hard to see that the text is a hyperlink.

Here is the HTML code:

&lth4 style="text-align: left;">&lta href="hyperlink" target="_blank">&ltspan style="color: #000000;">The making of #bobthebrewbus&lt/span>&lt/a>&lt/h4>

Solution

    a:hover {color: red;}
    a { color: black; text-decoration: none;}

<h4 style="text-align: left;"><a href="hyperlink" target="_blank">The making of #bobthebrewbus</a></h4>

I'm working on a wordpress site and flipping to text to edit so it is only in HTML. Can I change to CSS or how to I translate this into HTML and add to the code?

You need to write CSS in style tags, in the document. Pseudo classes (like :hover) never refer to an element, but to any element that satisfies the conditions of the stylesheet rule.
