Poetry

---

Do all things without murmuring,
That you maybe be innocent;
To be blameless without grumbling,
Unto God be obedient.

Be sons of God without blemish,
Inside of this perverse nation;
A genesis did abolish,
And causing a devastation.

You must shine as lights in the world,
Holding fast to the Word of life;
So that as God’s plan is unfurled,
The day that Christ combats the strife.

Be proud I did not run in vain,
In your labor like giving birth;
That seems to be causing much pain,
For sanctification of earth.

Although I’m poured out as a drink,
Like a sacrificial offering;
I rejoice of my faith to think,
In the joy to Christ, it would bring.

Likewise, to you for this cause,
You should rejoice also be glad;
Being cleansed and free of any flaws,
No longer need in feeling sad.
