Though commanded
to pay evil its due,
Christian would not,
and he was arrested
and jailed.
"Strengthened with all power,
According to His glorious
might,
For all patience and endurance"
Though commanded again
to pay homage to sin,
Christian would not,
and he was stripped
naked to the world.
"Strengthened with all power,
According to His glorious
might,
For all patience and endurance"
Though commanded again
and again to bow down,
Christian would not,
and he was whipped
almost to death.
"Strengthened with all power,
According to His glorious
might,
For all patience and endurance"
Though commanded again
and again and again,
Christian would not,
and salt was poured
upon his wounds.
"Strengthened with all power,
According to His glorious
might,
For all patience and endurance"
Though commanded again
and again and again
and again,
Christian would not,
and he so cried out,
until he died.
"Strengthened with all power,
According to His glorious
might,
For all patience and endurance"
Though commanded again
and again and again
and again and again,
Christian would not
deny the One he loves
and Who loves him.
"Strengthened with all power,
Qualified to share in the
inheritance
Of the saints in the light."
