LyicsDIDST thou, Lord 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;
Oh, let me in thy footsteps 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.
Say to my soul, 'Why dost thou fear
The face of feeble clay?
Behold thy Saviour ever near,
Will guide thee in the way.'
Oh, how my soul wold rise and run,
At this reviving word:
Nor any painful suff'rings shun,
To follow thee, my Lord.
Let sinful men reproach, defame,
And call me what they will,
If I may glorify thy name,
And be thy servant still.
