[Less by action than by patience]
This spake He, signifying by what death, &c.
—xxi. 19.
Less by action than by patience
Bring we glory to our God;
Suffering sore and strong temptations,
Sin resisting unto blood,
We the strength of grace discover,
Plainly in our weakness seen,
Magnify our heavenly Lover,
Him who gives such power to men.
Bring we glory to our God;
Suffering sore and strong temptations,
Sin resisting unto blood,
We the strength of grace discover,
Plainly in our weakness seen,
Magnify our heavenly Lover,
Him who gives such power to men.
Thus the truth of God we witness,
Thus the truth of faith we prove,
Gain, and evidence our meetness
For the' inheritance above;
Jesus' perfect mind expressing,
With our Father's will comply,
Bless'd with all the gospel blessing,
Followers of the Lamb, we die.
