|
<p>Never further than Thy cross,<br>
|
|
Never higher than Thy feet;<br>
|
|
Here earth’s precious things seem dross,<br>
|
|
Here earth’s bitter things grow sweet.</p>
|
|
<p>Gazing thus our sin we see,<br>
|
|
Learn Thy love while gazing thus,<br>
|
|
Sin, which laid the cross on Thee,<br>
|
|
Love, which bore the cross for us.</p>
|
|
<p>Here we learn to serve and give,<br>
|
|
And, rejoicing, self deny;<br>
|
|
Here we gather love to live,<br>
|
|
Here we gather faith to die.</p>
|
|
<p>Pressing onward as we can,<br>
|
|
Still to this our hearts must tend;<br>
|
|
Where our earliest hopes began,<br>
|
|
There our last aspirings end.</p>
|
|
<p>Till amid the hosts of light,<br>
|
|
We in Thee redeemed, complete,<br>
|
|
Through Thy cross made pure and white,<br>
|
|
Cast our crowns before Thy feet.</p>
