How Shall I Follow Him I Serve? (EN 4327)

EN 4327 How Shall I Follow Him I Serve?

John.12.26

Versi Version 1

1

How shall I follow Him I serve?

How shall I copy Him I love?

Not from the blessed footsteps swerve,

Which lead me to His seat above?

2

Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn,

The life of toil, the mean abode,

The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,

Are these the consecrated road?

3

’Twas thus He suffered, though a Son,

Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all,

Until the perfect work was done,

And drunk the bitter cup of gall.

4

Lord, should my path through suffering lie

Forbid it I should e’er repine;

Still let me turn to Calvary,

Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine.

5

O let me think how Thou didst leave

Untasted every pure delight,

To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve,

The toilsome day, the homeless night.

6

To faint, to grieve, to die for me!

Thou camest, not Thyself to please;

And, dear as earthly comforts be,

Shall I not love Thee more than these?

7

Yes, I would count them all but loss,

To gain the notice of Thine eye:

Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross,

But Thou canst give the victory.
