Pressed out of measure, pressed beyond

|
| 1. | Pressed out of measure, pressed beyond |
| | all length; |
| | Pressed so intensely, seeming beyond |
| | stength; |
| | Pressed in the body, pressed within the |
| | soul, |
| | Pressed in the mind till darksome |
| | surges roll. |
| | God is my hope and God is my joy; |
| | He is the resurrection life I enjoy. |
| 2. | Pressure by foes, and pressure from our |
| | friends; |
| | Pressure on pressure, till life nearly |
| | ends; |
| | Pressed into knowing none to help but |
| | God, |
| | Pressed into loving both the staff and |
| | the rod. |
| 3. | Pressed into liberty where nothing |
| | clings, |
| | Pressed into faith for hard and hopeless |
| | things; |
| | Pressed into life, a life in Christ the |
| | Lord, |
| | Pressed into life, the life of Christ |
| | outpoured. |
