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.
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.

'Twixt the good and evil
Make thy choice;
Though thy self-love wounded be
Win by meekness victory.
