1 Shall I for fear <strong>of</strong> feeble man,<br />
The spirit's course in me restrain?<br />
Or, undismay'd in deed and word,<br />
Be a true witness <strong>of</strong> my Lord.<br />
2 Aw'd by mortal's frown, shall I<br />
Conceal the word <strong>of</strong> God Most High!<br />
How then before thee shall I dare<br />
To stand, or how thy anger bear?<br />
3 Shall I, to soothe th' unholy throng,<br />
S<strong>of</strong>ten the truth, or smooth my tongue,<br />
To gain earth's gilded toys or, flee<br />
The cross endur'd, my Lord, by thee?<br />
4 What then is he whose scorn I dread?<br />
Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid<br />
A man! an heir <strong>of</strong> death! a slave<br />
To sin! a bubble on the wave!<br />
5 Yea, let men rage, since thou will spread<br />
Thy shadowing wings around my head:<br />
Since in all pain thy tender love<br />
Will still my sure refreshment prove.<br />
