THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
Is it an easy thing to be a Christian? No.
For while we live, with Satan as our foe,
We shall have trials enough our faith to prove,
Before we reach the Christian's rest above.
For while we live, with Satan as our foe,
We shall have trials enough our faith to prove,
Before we reach the Christian's rest above.
As journeying on with weary feet we go—
Battling with sin and blindness here below,
With many a heartache, discouragement and grief
Faith almost dead while waiting for relief,—
Battling with sin and blindness here below,
With many a heartache, discouragement and grief
Faith almost dead while waiting for relief,—
Many of those we try to help along,
When trouble comes, will join the scoffing throng;
And friends with whom we long have cast our lot
Look coldly on, as if they knew us not.
When trouble comes, will join the scoffing throng;
And friends with whom we long have cast our lot
Look coldly on, as if they knew us not.
Well, be it so, if we can but be true
To God, ourselves, and those who wrong us too,—
Let us press on, though rugged be the road,—
There's rest within the city of our God!
To God, ourselves, and those who wrong us too,—
Let us press on, though rugged be the road,—
There's rest within the city of our God!
