156. O willingly endure

1 O, willingly endure! For God’s Word doth assure That thou shouldst suffer still, According to His will. 2 To suffer as God wills Our life’s design fulfills; It leads to God’s domain, Christ’s likeness to attain. 3 To suffer makes us pure, Each trial we endure Does good to us impart, Makes us childlike at heart. 4 To be childlike and pure, O, that alone is sure; To please your Lord and God, O, may this be your lot! 5 Then as a child draw nigh; He hears your every sigh; You shall not leave His face Without His blessed grace.
