Let Us With Composure Stand

Give us Stephen's look collected
And His calm and peaceful mind,
When we meet with unexpected
Trials of the fiercest kind;
In the midst of shouts and crying,
Let us with composure stand;
Open heav'n to us in dying;
Show us Christ at God's right hand.
--Zion's Harp #175 vs. 8

... in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, ... in perils among false brethren
--II Corinthians 11:26
