1 Peter 4:14: Slander'd in the cause of Jesus

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)

Religion

Slander'd in the cause of Jesus,
When we suffer for His name,
Jesus then delights to bless us,
Jesus dignifies our shame,
Then the Comforter is given,
Earnest of our glorious rest,
Seals the raptured heirs of heaven,
Fills His temple in our breast.
