Mark 10:28Jesus, I my cross have takenAll to leave and follow TheeDestitute, despised, forsakenThou from hence my all shalt bePerish every fond ambitionAll I ve sought and hoped and knownYet how rich is my conditionGod and heaven are still my ownLet the world despise and leave meThey have left my Savior tooHuman hearts and looks deceive meThou art not, like man, untrueAnd, while Thou shalt smile upon meGod of wisdom, love, and mightFoes may hate and friends may shun meShow Thy face and all is brightMan may trouble and distress me Twill but drive me to Thy breastLife with trials hard may press meHeaven will bring me sweeter restOh tis not in grief to harm meWhile Thy love is left to meOh twere not in joy to charm meWere that joy unmixed with TheeHasten on from grace to gloryArmed by faith and winged by prayerHeaven s eternal day s before meGod s own hand shall guide me thereSoon shall close my earthly missionSwift shall pass my pilgrim daysHope shall change to glad fruitionFaith to sight and prayer to praise
