[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 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:
Averse alike to Thine and Thee,
With us they never can agree
Who with our Saviour fight.
Jesus, from those who Thee abhor,
And fly the irksome light:
242
With us they never can agree
Who with our Saviour fight.
