5 Thee, holy Lord, we must obey, Though Men reproach us still; Yet let us do what thou dost say, And yield unto thy Will;
6 And still alone on thee rely, And not on what-we do; In point of trust we fly to thee, And let our own works go;
7 And though in minding thy sweet truth Men do us vilify, Yet we resolve, Lord, in thy strength, To own them till we die.
7 And though in minding thy sweet truth Men do us vilifie, Yet we resolve, Lord, in thy strength, To own them till we die.
The Second Part. 1 O Lord, let us not turn our back On thee whom we do love; For we do know we shall not lack Thy presence from above; ⟨p. 261⟩2 For thou hast promised to the end To us that will be near, And be to us a faithful Friend, Which makes us not to fear 3 Whatever Men or Devils do In secret place design; For soon canst thou them overthrow, And help all Souls of thine. 4 The Resurrection of the Dead We constantly maintain, When all those who lye buried Shall rise to life again; 5 And that the Judgment-day will come, When Christ upon the Throne Shall pass a black eternal doom Upon each wicked one: 6 But all his Saints then joyfully With bowels he'll embrace, And Crowns to all eternity Upon their Heads he'll place; 7 And in the Kingdom shall they reign Prepared long before, And also shall with Christ remain In bliss for evermore.
