| 1 | Master! we would no longer be | John 15:24; Hebrews 12:1; 1 Peter 2:21; Ephesians 4:2; 1 Timothy 6:11; Psalm 22:2; Acts 2:23; Matthew 20:19 |
| At home in that which hated Thee, |
| But patient in Thy footsteps go, |
| Thy sorrow as Thy joy to know; |
| We would—and, oh, confirm the power— |
| With meekness meet the darkest hour, |
| By shame, contempt, however tried, |
| For Thou wast scorned and crucified. |
|
| 2 | We welcome still Thy faithful word— | Matthew 16:24-27; John 16:16; Matthew 25:21; Song of Solomon 2:13; Revelation 21:4 |
| "The cross shall meet its sure reward"; |
| For soon must pass the "little while," |
| Then joy shall crown Thy servants' toil: |
| And we shall hear Thee, Saviour, say, |
| "Arise, My love, and come away; |
| Look up, for thou shalt weep no more, |
| But rest on heaven's eternal shore." |
