On a Coming Day
I have heard them sneer and jeer
At the devotion of the God-believing.
I have seen them mock and smear
Sacred evidences I am receiving.
I have thought to respond in kind—
To lash out in righteous indignation.
But Christ’s counsel tends my mind
And I tolerate every accusation.
It is futile to enter into debate
For they know what they know is so.
We will meet again at Peter’s gate.
Then they will know, then they will know.
