<p>How shall I follow Him I serve?<br>
How shall I copy Him I love?<br>
Not from the bless&egrave;d footsteps swerve,<br>
Which lead me to His seat above?</p>
<p>Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn,<br>
The life of toil, the mean abode,<br>
The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,<br>
Are these the consecrated road?</p>
<p>&#8217;Twas thus He suffered, though a Son,<br>
Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all,<br>
Until the perfect work was done,<br>
And drunk the bitter cup of gall.</p>
<p>Lord, should my path through suffering lie<br>
Forbid it I should e&#8217;er repine;<br>
Still let me turn to Calvary,<br>
Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine.</p>
<p>O let me think how Thou didst leave<br>
Untasted every pure delight,<br>
To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve,<br>
The toilsome day, the homeless night.</p>
<p>To faint, to grieve, to die for me!<br>
Thou camest, not Thyself to please;<br>
And, dear as earthly comforts be,<br>
Shall I not love Thee more than these?</p>
<p>Yes, I would count them all but loss,<br>
To gain the notice of Thine eye:<br>
Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross,<br>
But Thou canst give the victory.</p>
