Henceforth I learn that to obey is best, And love with fear the only God, to walk As in His presence, ever to observe His providence and on Him sole depend, 565Merciful over all His works, with good Still overcoming evil and by small Accomplishing great things, by things deemed weak Subverting worldly strong, and worldly wise◦ By simply meek, that suffering for Truth’s sake 570Is fortitude to highest victory And to the faithful death the gate of life: Taught this by His example whom I now Acknowledge my Redeemer ever blest.
