[No room for glorying in their grace]
We...glory in you,...for your patience and, &c.
—i. 4.
No room for glorying in their grace,
No cause of thankfulness have we
For those who faith in words profess,
Till faith's undoubted proofs we see:
But if they see the' Invisible,
With patience they the fire endure,
And thus express the Spirit's seal,
And witness thus, their hearts are pure.
No cause of thankfulness have we

Till faith's undoubted proofs we see:
But if they see the' Invisible,
With patience they the fire endure,
And thus express the Spirit's seal,
And witness thus, their hearts are pure.
These are the followers of their Lord,
Who suffer in their Master's cause,
And never speak one boasting word,
And only glory in His cross.
A pattern to believers these,
As stars throughout the churches shine,
Partakers of true holiness,
And fill'd with all the life Divine.
Who suffer in their Master's cause,
And never speak one boasting word,
And only glory in His cross.
A pattern to believers these,
As stars throughout the churches shine,
Partakers of true holiness,
And fill'd with all the life Divine.
