S. O. JAMES

By S. O. JAMES

Crucifixion

S. O. JAMES

BETTER to die than yield to sin; O mortal, keep thy conscience pure; Heed well that voice which speaks within, And make thy last election sure.
“The heart’s deceitful,” saith my God, Who knows like him its secret springs? Who oft applies the chastening rod, That he may give us better things?
God’s saving truth presents a cross The thoughtless rabble will not bear. They can not bear to suffer loss; The greater loss they do not fear.
O wisdom, may we heed thy voice! Anoint our eyes, that we may see. So shall we in the truth rejoice, And know the One who makes us free.
