Our hearts with fierce conflicts and anguish be riven,
But hope to the end; there’s salvation in Heaven.
Oh, who will endure the last searching test,
With Abrah’m and Isaac and Jacob be blest
In the kingdom of God? and who will be lost,
To find when too late, what earth’s pleasures have cost?
Shall we cling, then, to what Christ would have us give up?
Oh, no! grieve him not, and he with us will sup.
He’ll shelter us here in the last coming strife,
And give us to drink of the water of life.
