[The hatred of our ancient foe]
If ye were of the world, the world would love, &c.
—xv. 19.
The hatred of our ancient foe
Contentedly we bear,
And are not of the world we know,
And this themselves declare:
Their maxims we no more receive
As by their spirit led,
But faithfully to Jesus cleave,
And suffer with our Head.
Contentedly we bear,
And are not of the world we know,
And this themselves declare:
Their maxims we no more receive
As by their spirit led,
But faithfully to Jesus cleave,
And suffer with our Head.
As evil when they cast us out
And shun our company,
They will not suffer us to doubt
If we belong to Thee:
Saviour, whom they reject, disdain,
We find Thou dost approve,
And thus another mark obtain
Of Thine electing love.
And shun our company,
They will not suffer us to doubt
If we belong to Thee:
Saviour, whom they reject, disdain,
We find Thou dost approve,
30
Of Thine electing love.
