Sacrifice

  1. As Abram offered up to God the life of his own son
    Pre-figuring that sacrifice which showed the three in one
    May we, pursuing Christian life, prepare to offer all
    Our goods and attributes to God if we receive His call.

  2. We may be asked to sacrifice our feelings for a friend
    Or see the need to contribute much more than we intend:
    We may bear witness to Our Lord in argument or pain,
    Prepared to suffer patiently, encourage or explain.

  3. God, out of love, would not exact where He did not ensure
    The means proportionate to the tasks he asks us to endure:
    So let us go with confidence to all the trials we face,
    Protected by His boundless love and His abiding Grace.
