We see Jesus,

who was made a little lower than the angels

for the suffering of death,

crowned with glory and honour.

Hebrews 2:9

THE SERVANT’S PATH

IN A DAY OF REJECTION

Servant of Christ, stand fast amid the scorn

Of men Who little know or love thy Lord;
Turn not aside from toil; cease not to warn,

Comfort and teach. Trust Him for thy reward:
A few more moments’ suffering, and then

Cometh sweet rest from all thy heart’s deep pain.

For grace pray much, for much thou needest grace;

If men thy work deride,--What can they more?

Christ’s weary foot thy path on earth doth trace;

If thorns wound thee, they pierced Him before;

Press on, look up, though clouds may gather round;

Thy place of service He makes hallowed ground.

Have friends forsaken thee, and cast thy name

Out as a worthless thing? Take courage then;

Go, tell thy Master; for they did the same

To Him, Who once in patience toiled. for them:
Yet He was perfect in all service here;

Thou oft hast failed; this maketh Him more clear

“The time is short:” seek little here below;

Earth’s goods would cumber thee, and drag thee down;

Let daily food suffice; care not to know

Thought for tomorrow; it may never come,

Thou canst not perish, for thy Lord is nigh.
And His own care will all thy need supply.

(J.J.P.)
