The Altar | ||

“If these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye
shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Would that to Thee we might be likened now,
So we this persecution should obtain,
And turn obtain'd to our abiding gain;—
From trial-scene to scene we thus might go,
Gaining in each advantage o'er the foe,
So unto us each heaven-descended pain
Might wash away some guilt-contracted stain,
And we our own abasement come to know;
So more and more may learn how to forgive;
And more forgiving, may be more forgiven;
That more forgiven, we the more may love;
And loving more, like That we love may prove;
And liken'd more to Him, in Him may live,
And find in Him the rest which is of Heaven.
