Smile Through The Trial



Smile Through The Trial
By George Thurlow
 
Cast not away your confidence.*
Don't let your countenance fall.
Though under trial, continue to smile
And be a blessing to all.
 
For your life is an open epistle**
Read and known of man.
Give glory to God, not self-absorbed;
A soldier of Christ must stand.
 
 Your conversation is a witness,
A reflection of Jesus Christ.
Be a radiant bloom, not a shadow of gloom;
Be strong in the midst of strife.
 
Brother keep marching forward.
Do you best to be faithful and true.
Honor the King, in everything
Reward is waiting you.


*Hebrews 10:35 -"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward".

**2 Corinthians 3:2- "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men".
