717. Brethren, those who come to bliss

1 Brethren, those who come to bliss
Come through sore temptations;
May we all, remembering this,
Pray for faith and patience.

2 See the suffering church of Christ,
Gathered from all quarters;
All contained in that red list
Were not murdered martyrs.

3 Th’ Holy Ghost will make the soul
Feel its sad condition;
For the sick, and not the whole,
Need the good Physician.

4 Of that mighty multitude,
Who of life were winners,
This we safely may conclude,
All were wretched sinners.

5 All were loathsome in God’s sight,
Till the blood of Jesus
Washed their robes, and made them white;
Now they sing his praises.
