Lyics

Didst 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 do no more repine.



Thy grace sufficient is for me,

In every time of need;

Then, Lord, I'll boldly fight for thee

And in thy strength succeed.
