532. If One Ill Treat You

1 If one ill treat you for My sake,
And daily you to shame awake;
Be joyful, your reward is nigh,
Prepared for you in Heav'n on high.

2 Fear not the man of such ill will;
The body only can he kill;
A faithful God the rather fear,
Who can condemn to darkness drear.

3 O Christ, help Thou Thy little flock,
Who faithful follow Thee, their Rock;
By Thine own death redeem each one,
And crown the work that Thou hast done.
