Be Humbled
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Humble yourself to His hand,
So that He may exalt you;
Abiding by His command,
Remaining faithful and true.
God casts your anxieties,
Because He does care for you;
Also your iniquities,
Through confession to pursue.
Be sober and vigilant,
About the roaring lion;
Satan prowls and is violent,
Outside the gates of Zion.
He will seek to devour,
For the faith in which you lack;
Uncertain of the hour,
He will attack from the back.
Resist having your faith firm,
For he afflicts suffering;
His attacks for the long term,
But Christ will be buffering.
After you suffer in time,
The eternal glory of Christ;
He will assist in your climb,
To be able to resist.
For the grace of God restores,
Strengthens you to establish;
For resisting the uproars,
Conduct that is devilish.
To Him be the dominion,
Glory that will not sever;
With God be your reunion,
Eternally forever.
