[Ye of the Christian sect]
These things have I spoken unto you, &c.
—xvi. 1.
Ye of the Christian sect,
By faith to Jesus join'd,
No mercy or remorse expect,
No justice from mankind:
The world in every age
Their hate of Christ express,
And vent their anti-Christian rage
Against His witnesses.
By faith to Jesus join'd,
No mercy or remorse expect,
No justice from mankind:
The world in every age
Their hate of Christ express,
And vent their anti-Christian rage
Against His witnesses.
But nothing shall offend,
Or turn out of the way
You that on Jesu's word depend,
And on His promise stay;
Forewarn'd, without surprise,
Without concern or fear,
Ye see the threatening storm arise,
Ye see your Saviour near.
Or turn out of the way
You that on Jesu's word depend,
And on His promise stay;
34
Without concern or fear,
Ye see the threatening storm arise,
Ye see your Saviour near.
Ye scorn the tyrants' frown,
And to their wrongs submit,
And let them spurn and tread you down
As clay beneath their feet:
Beneath their rage ye fall
The victory to obtain,
All things endure, to conquer all,
And die with Christ to reign.
And to their wrongs submit,
And let them spurn and tread you down
As clay beneath their feet:
Beneath their rage ye fall
The victory to obtain,
All things endure, to conquer all,
And die with Christ to reign.
