Endure and Hope

By Marianne Farningham

“Behold, we count them happy which endure.” James 5:11.
STAND firmly. Do not yield or quail! Force back the cry, let hope prevail; Or brace thyself the worst to meet, Even defeat.
The victor is not always blest, Thou canst lie down and take thy rest, A nobleman, though dispossessed.
Meet the fierce onslaught. See, it comes With flashing swords and roll of drums; Summon thy courage and thy faith For life or death.
This is no time to faint or fear, See how the foemen hosts appear; O knight of Christ, be valiant here!
Lose not thy faith in mists of night, Keep thy face forward to the light, The soldier must not fearful be— Christ is for thee!
A little while be brave, stand fast; Day breaks, the trouble soon is past; Those who endure are crowned at last.
— Marianne Farningham.
