John 7: Who suffer in their Saviour's cause
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Who suffer in their Saviour's cause.
Must never marvel or complain,
Of violent wrongs and broken laws;
By merciless oppressive man
Condemn'd unheard they always were,
And still their Master's portion share.
Witnesses of the' atoning blood
Have ye been once arraign'd and tried?
As outlaws by your foes pursued,
Persist and patiently abide,
Assured your cause shall soon be known,
And the great Judge pronounce, Well done.
