It was a love that could endure.
Had calmness – patience – fortitude –
in it.

Love toward outcasts – rebels –
the scorners of God's goodness –
who had not pity of any – who
were wretched, undone ~

Is he a friend with strong love
who clings to you in poverty, in
disgrace – in misery – ? – Such
was Christ's love to us.

"While yet enemies C. [Christ] died for us."
