Do not be surprised at
the suffering you bear;
It�s not something strange,
so you must not despair.
Rejoice that you share
with Christ and His sufferings know;
When He comes in glory,
your joy will o�erflow.
If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.
If you are insulted because
of Christ�s Name,
You�re blessed, for God�s Spirit
on you will remain.
Your suffering should never be
for what deserves blame;
But if for your faith you�re hurt,
be not ashamed.
If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.
God�s judgment will start
with His own family.
What then will the outcome
for godless men be?
In spite of your suffering,
do good to all men;
For God will be faithful
to you to the end.
If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.
