OBLOQUY INVITABLE.
Saviour-Lord! make mine and meWorthy to be blam'd for Thee!
'Tis the Christian's honour'd badge,
High distinctive privilege.
Welcome scorn, derision, shame,
If for Jesus' hallowed name
These should falsely charged be,
Either upon mine or me.
Blessings are to such assign'd
Who, with stableness of mind,
Still unto their Lord resort
Both through “good and ill report:”
Christ to such hath promise given—
“Great is your reward in heaven.”
Saviour-Lord! make mine and me
Worthy to be blam'd for Thee!
