Never from rectitude to swerve,
Though by the powers of hell pursued;
To consecrate, without reserve,
All we possess, in g doing good"
1t Is to glory in the Cross,
Endure reproach, despise the shame,
And wisely count as dung and dross,
I'll earthly grandure. homage, fame;
To know the Shepherd of the sheep
Be gentle. harmless, meek and lowly
All joy, all hope, all peace-to keep
Not one in seven, but all days holy!
1t is to be all prayer and praise,
Not in set form or phrase expressed,
But ceaseiess as angelic lays
This, only this, is CHRISTIAN REST!
He who, believing, hath obtained
This REST, shall ne'er be troubled more,
Though round him lions, fierce, unclaimed,
For his destruction rage and roar!
Hemay be furnishing for bread,
Or be of men the jest and mirth, =.
And have no where to Law his head,
No spot to call his own on earth;
Temptation, with its endless wiles,
May strive to turn bis feet aside
And Flattery, with its treacherous smiles,
May hope to flush some latent pride;
He may be hunted as beast
As hereto dragged to the stake
Placed on the rack Revenge to feast,
And Bigotry's fierce wrath TO slake
Or whether earth or hell assail,
1t matters not--within his breast
Is joy, is peace, that cannot fail
Nought shall destroy his CHRISTIAN REST
