“THINK IT NOT STRANGE!” |
1
PET. 4:12.
———————————
——————
THINK
it not strange, beloved,
When
fiercely burns the fiery flame!
Think
it not strange, but praise His name.
Who
counts thee worthy to partake
Of
painful sufferings for His sake.
Nor
think it strange
When
loved ones scornful from thee turn,
The
Truth reject, the message spurn;
Consider Him who thus
endured,
And Immortality secured!
Think
it not strange, beloved.
If
sometimes every door seem closed,
And
all thine efforts be opposed,
But
calmly wait in patience till
The
Master shall reveal His will.
Nor think it
strange
When
darker grows the “narrow way, —
Press
on, thy Master soon shall say,
“Enough,
My child, thou hast well done,
Come, enter in, the Prize is won!”
