O Christian brethern marvel not!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christian brethern marvel not! What if the world hate you; It is the christians share and lot, Whilst here on earth below. 2 The world will ever love its ways, That of unrighteousness! The carnal mind can ne'er embrace The ways of life and peace. 3 Those who have pass'd from death to life Must needs expect to find, Continual war, and constant strife, With those of carnal mind. 4 The soul remains with sin defil'd! Whilst in a carnal state-- And never will be reconciled To bear the christians fate. 5 Where there is not a living faith, The mind is not renew'd; And still remains in sin and death, And enmity with God. Topics: Second Sunday after Trinity Scripture: 1 John 3:13-18
