LyicsDost thou, dear Jesus, suffer shame,
And bear the cross for me,
And shall I fear to own thy name,
Or thy disciple be?
Forbid it Lord, that I should dread,
To suffer shame or loss;
But in thy footsteps let me tread,
And glory in thy cross.
Inspire my soul with life divine,
And holy courage bold;
Let knowledge, faith and meekness shine,
Nor love nor zeal grow cold.
To thee I cheerfully submit,
And all my powers resign;
Let wisdom point out what is fit,
And I'll no more repine.
Thy grace sufficient is for me,
In ev'ry time of need;
Then, Lord, I'll boldly fight for thee,
And in thy strength succeed.
