[If Christ on me His grace bestows]

A man's foes shall be they of his own household. —x. 36.

If Christ on me His grace bestows,
I must expect my household-foes
To vex me for His sake:
Will they receive or credit mine,
While all the blessed words Divine
They cast behind their back?
I look for enmity and war,
Jesus, from those who Thee abhor,
And fly the irksome light:

242

Averse alike to Thine and Thee,
With us they never can agree
Who with our Saviour fight.
