Their sorrows and their sufferings o’er,
And prayer to praise turned evermore.
The Warfare.
Temptations are presented, and we yield e’er we’re aware,
And again become entangled in the tempter’s subtle snare;
Our warring passions raging, with the sound of battle din,
Though outward foes in arms array, this warfare is within.
There’s hatred, pride and unbelief, and many evils there,
And our besetting sins oft battle faith and humble prayer;
Thus wasted are our energies, our strength and nobler powers,
