(\'Oft in danger, oft in woe\')
Hebrews 12 v.1-4
********
We are encompassed about
With a great cloud, sure, no doubt
Of witnesses, believers
Grace on us the Lord confers
Let us lay aside each weight
And sin which does strength abate
Sin which does so easily
Besets, ensnares us, we see
And let us run with patience
The race set before us hence
Go on with perseverance
Jesus\' presence in us snse
Looking to Him, the author
Of our faith, and finisher
Who for joy before Him set
Before Him endured cross yet
Despised the shame, now set down
At God\'s right hand, wears the crown
Consider Him that endured
Hostility, life outpoured
By sinners contradicted
Remember, be not wearied
Nor faint in mind, discouraged
He e\'er living, has you bid
For you have not yet so led
Resisted unto bloodshed
Striving against sin, but Christ
Gave self, perfect sacrifice
