519 ~ How Shall I Follow Him?
1
How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve Which lead me to His seat above?
2
Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid that I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my grief, remembering Thine.
3
O, let me think how Thou didst leave The heavenly home of pure delights, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, Through toilsome days, through lonely nights!
4
All this Thou didst, then died for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please; And, dear though earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these?
