The christian suff'rings here below

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:18-23 Lyrics: 1 The christian suff'rings here below, Do not deserve to be compar'd! Unto the joys God will bestow, To those who trust unto his word. 2 On this sure promise they may build! They never need to doubt or fear-- Such glories are in them reveal'd, Which will repay their suff'rings here. 3 Happy will be the time indeed, For which the whole creation wait; When ev'ry creature shall be freed From their oppress'd and mournful state. 4 In Adam's fall the whole was made, Subject to vanity and sin-- the curse on all the earth was laid, And all that is contain'd therein. 5 All creatures may be said to groan, And travel in distress and pain; All living creatures, Sun and Moon, They feel the curse of guilt and stain. 6 But when the blessed sons of God In all their glory come to view; When heav'n and earth shall be renew'd, All creatures are redeemed too.
