Poetry

---

I ask you not to lose heart,
Over our suffering;
For the glory you impart,
Christ gives as the buffering.

This is why I bow my knees,
Before God our Father;
While praying with my pleas,
Through Jesus our Brother.

Whom every family,
In Heaven and on the earth;
Regardless or not holy,
Has given each of them birth.

He may grant you be strengthened,
With power through His Spirit;
Assuring your life lengthened,
By your faith and your merit.

So that Christ dwells in your heart,
Through faith and grounded in love;
Deeply rooted to impart,
His Word flowing from above.

May the strength to comprehend,
With all of the saints in breadth;
With the length that will extend,
Exceeds with every breath.

For to know the love of Christ,
That passes human knowledge;
May be filled and not enticed,
By what others acknowledge.

Now to Him who is able,
Does far more abundantly;
Ask and think what is stable,
To work done diligently.

Glory to God in the church,
Throughout all generations;
Only through Jesus to search,
Having no expirations.

Keeping Christ through all ages,
Forever world without end;
Of your life through all stages,
As He is your God and friend.

Know the love of Jesus Christ,
With all the fullness of God;
And why He was sacrificed,
And why you honor and laud.
