Let Us Please God

By J. M. HOPKINS

J. M. HOPKINS
When Christ, our great Example, From heaven above came down, Accepting toil and sorrow, And thorns his only crown; From manger e'en to Calvary, Bearing his weary load With fixed and steadfast purpose, He always pleased his God.
The great apostle counsels, In Colossians one and ten, That in our conversation And intercourse with men We do those things well pleasing In sight of holy God, In service being fruitful, And mighty in his Word.
Be this our first endeavor, To please our Maker well. Let earthly tie or pleasure His presence not dispel. From this plain path of duty, And loyalty to God, My brother, let none turn you, But walk the narrow road.
Though the road be sometimes dreary And thorns may wound your feet, Though often you are weary, There's rest at Jesus' feet. Then never be discouraged, But bravely struggle on, Erelong will end the conflict, Eternal victory won.
