Overcomer

Christian lose not heart,
For that is the loss of every thing,
For he has not promised,
The tempest to prevent,
Neither affliction to forestall,
Nor travail to avert;
But

Keep preciously your heart,
Amidst life's stream and,
Maintain an undefeated front,
In the face of life's difficulties,
For the promise to you is that,
You shall not be overcome,

Then
Gird your heart with faith,
And keep your heavens or,
You soon lose your earth,
Remember that the Lord thinks
On you always, preparing ahead;
For you long before you awake.
