Tune: St Michael
(\'The Lord is risen indeed\')
John 16 v.1-4, and v.7
***************
Jesus said, I do say
Things unto you this day
That when troubles do come, you may
Understand true my way
That you not fall away
I speak to you today
Forth telling they shall put you out
Of your churches, no doubt
Yes, and even the time
When committing the crime
Of killing believers they shall
Say, I do serve God well
And these things they shall do
Persecute, trouble you
Because they have not know me nor
The Father, it be sure
But these things I have told
You that you may be bold
In sufferings, afflictions days
What men may do or say [to you]
So that you may recall
I have said to you all
That troubles shall come, when they do
The Spirit shall help you
