As strangers here below,
With various woes oppressed;
We must through tribulation go
To our eternal rest.
Thus Christ, our glorious head,
Ascended to his throne:
Why should his saints refuse to tread
The way their Lord has gone?
The path to glory lies
Through conflict and distress;
But joyful we at length shall rise,
The kingdom to possess.
‘Tis needful that we bear
Our Father’s rod of love;
We pass through great affliction here,
To fit for heaven above.
We learn his will divine
Beneath the chastening rod:
it purifies the soul from sin,
And brings us near to God.
