REPROOF
Art thou Christ's disciple? Patient be; 'Tis perchance what's needed Most by thee; Though thy heart it grieveth sore Strive more earnest than before.
Through the tones that chide thee Hear His voice; 'Twixt the good and evil Make thy choice; Though thy self-love wounded be Win by meekness victory.
