Hymn Context Compare
Nor born in any high es­tate;
May death be here, and life be gone!
We need not die; we can­not fight;
To keep them out of mis­chief,
Yours is the king­dom—Heav’n.
And free­ly for­giv­en, re­ceive
But they who meek­ly bear,
Almighty God, to Thee;
There’s al­so room for thee.

For Je­sus’ sake

Who is so high and good and great?
Thy peace may bless my dy­ing day.
O day by day each Christ­ian child
end
Who per­se­cu­tions bear;
We gain a pure drop of His love,
A crown of life shall wear.
Accept my hum­ble plea.
The gates shall op­ened be,
