The Lion That on Sampson Roared
VERSE 1
The lion
that on Sampson roared,
And
thirsted for his blood;
With
honey afterwards was stored,
And
furnished him with food.
VERSE 2
Believers,
as they pace along,
With
many lions meet;
But
gather sweetness from the strong,
And from
the eater, meat.
VERSE 3
The
lions rage and roar in vain,
For
Jesus is their Shield;
Their
losses prove a certain gain,
Their
troubles comfort yield.
VERSE 4
The
world and Satan join their strength,
To fill
their souls with fears;
But
crops of joy they reap at length,
From
what they sow in tears.
VERSE 5
Afflictions
make them love the Word,
Stir up
their hearts to prayer;
And many
precious proofs afford,
Of their
Redeemer’s care.
VERSE 6
The
lions roar but cannot kill,
Then
fear them not, my friends;
They
bring us, though against their will,
The
honey Jesus sends.
