Religion
John 15:18: This is our consolation, Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
This is our consolation, Lord,
The world's fierce enmity
We bear, assured it first abhorr'd
And persecuted Thee:
Thy friends in every age and place
Are hated by Thy foe;
But if the scandal we embrace,
We shall the glory know.
