Galatians 6:16: As many as walk according to this rule, &c

The Christian rule to few is known:
Who truly bear the name,
They triumph in His cross alone,
And glory in His shame;

To pleasure, fame, and riches dead,
They in the world reside,
Conform'd in sufferings to their Head,
With Jesus crucified.

z Christians indeed are creatures new,;
Their Saviour's mind express,
And walking in His steps, they show
The power of godliness:
The church in every age is found
Composed of none but these:
O may they live with mercy crown'd,
And everlasting peace!
