Do not be surprised at
the suffering you bear;
It’s not something strange,
so you must not despair.
Rejoice that you share
with Christ and His sufferings know;
When He comes in glory,
your joy will o’erflow.
If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.
If you are insulted because
of Christ’s Name,
You’re blessed, for God’s Spirit
on you will remain.
Your suffering should never be
for what deserves blame;
But if for your faith you’re hurt,
be not ashamed.
If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.
God’s judgment will start
with His own family.
What then will the outcome
for godless men be?
In spite of your suffering,
do good to all men;
For God will be faithful
to you to the end.
If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.
