Classic Poem

When the enemy surrounds you,
coming on you as a flood,
And the fiery darts beset you,
that's the time to plead the Blood.

When your task seems much too heavy,
and you are misunderstood,
Let this be your pledge and token,
There is power in Jesus' Blood.

When life brings you only losses
and withholds from you the good,
Just rejoice to bear the crosses;
trusting Jesus' precious Blood.

As you live your life's short story,
for each problem, thought or mood,
All sufficient is the glory
of the Lord's atoning Blood.
