What Christ once enjoined,
The same he does now,
And still on his rites,
Will honour bestow;
In these we behold him,
And feast on his grace,
And when we thus serve him,
His conduct we trace.
With courage and strength,
His saints he inspires;
Their hearts in his work.
Is what he requires;
The timid and bashful
have nothing to fear,
Believe and obey him.
And he will be near.
By Jesus sustained,
We sink and we rise,
And glory in what
The worldlings despise;
Whilst thus our affections
With fervency glow,
Our joys are a heaven,
Commencing below.
