Mark 3:21: His body if a Christian slight

His body if a Christian slight,
A pastor toil by day and night,
His health in serving souls impair,
His madness all mankind declare:
But let a fool his God disdain,
Expose his life and soul for gain.
Destroy his health, abridge his days,
And all mankind his wisdom praise.

Above my Lord I would not be,
Prized by a world that branded Thee,
But scorn their scandalous esteem
Who dared my God Himself blaspheme
My portion of Thy shame I take,
A madman for my Master's sake,
And made unto salvation wise,
Pursue my Pattern to the skies.
