Marvel not when friends for­sake you,
For the world is ev­er vain;
Only seek­ing sin­ful plea­sures
And the joys of earth­ly gain.

Refrain

Marvel not whate’er be­fall you,
Trust the Sav­ior all the way,
For one day He’ll bear you safe­ly
To the realms of bright­est day.

Marvel not, oh! un­be­liev­er,
If your way is rough and bare;
Marvel not, for with­out Je­sus,
You no ho­ly joys shall share.

Refrain

Marvel not that Sa­tan’s pow­er
Can al­lure a soul to strife;
Keep your own heart fixed on Je­sus,
And you’ll win eter­nal life.

Refrain
