[The promise here of perfect love]
That, after...ye might receive the promise,
&c.
—x. 36.
The promise here of perfect love,
Of glorious endless life above
May we not with more ease obtain,
And 'scape the toil, the strife, the pain?
Yes, if we to our flesh give ear,
Or the smooth daubing prophets hear,
We need not patiently endure,
Or work, before our hearts are pure.
Of glorious endless life above
May we not with more ease obtain,
And 'scape the toil, the strife, the pain?
Yes, if we to our flesh give ear,
Or the smooth daubing prophets hear,
We need not patiently endure,
Or work, before our hearts are pure.
Us, who would do the Saviour's will,
They teach, “be simple, and be still,
Nor mind the legal guides, that say
Ye must endure, ye must obey:
We bid you start, and win the race,
(For patience is a needless grace,)
Repose, before the work is done,
Before the fight, obtain the crown.”

Before the fight, obtain the crown.”
But taught of God, we come to do
His will, we come to suffer too,
By patient faith continue still
In doing good, and bearing ill:
And after we have served our Lord,
We trust Him for the sure reward,
Expect His image to regain,
And then in bliss immortal reign.
His will, we come to suffer too,
By patient faith continue still
In doing good, and bearing ill:
And after we have served our Lord,
We trust Him for the sure reward,
Expect His image to regain,
And then in bliss immortal reign.
