[A sufferer for his Saviour's cause]

Except these bonds. —xxvi. 29.

A sufferer for his Saviour's cause
Cannot for sufferings pray,
Nor would the' anticipated cross
On weak beginners lay:
He wishes them to rest unknown,
Conceal'd from grief and shame,
Till Jesus calls them forth to own,
And triumph through His name.
