Hebrews 10: Repose, before the work is done
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Repose, before the work is done,
Before the fight, obtain the crown."
But taught of God, we come to do
His will, we come to suffer too,
By patient faith continue still
In doing good, and bearing ill:
And after we have served our Lord,
We trust Him for the sure reward,
Expect His image to regain,
And then in bliss immortal reign.
