Do not be surprised at the suffering you bear;
It�s not something strange, so you must not despair.
Rejoice that you share with Christ and His sufferings know;
When He comes in glory, your joy will o�erflow.
Refrain

If God should will that you suffer ill,
Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill.

If you are insulted because of Christ�s Name,
You�re blessed, for God�s Spirit on you will remain.
Your suffering should never be for what deserves blame;
But if for your faith you�re hurt, be not ashamed.

Refrain

God�s judgment will start with His own family.
What then will the outcome for godless men be?
In spite of your suffering, do good to all men;
For God will be faithful to you to the end.
