[The Christian rule to few is known]
As many as walk according to this rule, &c.
—vi. 16.
The Christian rule to few is known:
Who truly bear the name,
They triumph in His cross alone,
And glory in His shame;
To pleasure, fame, and riches dead,
They in the world reside,
Conform'd in sufferings to their Head,
With Jesus crucified.

Christians indeed are creatures new,
Their Saviour's mind express,
And walking in His steps, they show
The power of godliness:
The church in every age is found
Composed of none but these:
O may they live with mercy crown'd,
And everlasting peace!
