Rom. 8.35, 36.
WHO can take off Christ's love from us
can trouble or distress,
Or Persecution perillous,
or need, or nakedness?
Can Famine do it, or the Sword?
(as David hath his Song)
For thy sake are we slain, O Lord,
and killed all day long.
37, 38.
Counted as sheep for butchery,
nay, we (though martyr'd thus)
Triumph in all these gloriously,
through him that loved us.
I am persuaded on this wise,
that neither Death nor Life,
Nor Angels, Principalities,
nor Powers, with us at strife.
39.
Nor present things, nor things to come▪
nor height nor depth together,
Nor any thing that can be done
by Creatures whatsoever,
Shall separate us from the love
which (of his own accord)
Is born to us by God above,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rev. 1.4.
To God the Father, and the Son,
and Holy Ghost therefore,
Be glory as at first was done,
and shall be evermore.
