PERSEVERANCE

Pressing on though things go wrong,
And singing as you go along;
Battling against all the odds,
Knowing that your cares, too, are God’s;

Smiling though you suffer pain,
Nor letting God’s love in you wane;
Forgiving those who do you wrong,
By God’s grace, with them suffering long;

Gath’ring fresh courage for every hill,
Saying, aye: “By grace I can and will”;
Sweetly accepting every loss
By looking to the Saviour’s cross:
Yes, PERSEVERANCE comes each day
You walk, by faith, Christ’s narrow way!
