[If, taught of Him, I understand]
If, taught of Him, I understand
My Saviour's most benign command,
I shall be fully bless'd;
True is the promise of my Lord,
The duty is its own reward,
And crown of all the rest.
My Saviour's most benign command,
I shall be fully bless'd;
174
The duty is its own reward,
And crown of all the rest.
“Ye shall be perfect” here below,
He spake it, and it must be so;
But first He said, “Be poor;
Hunger, and thirst, repent, and grieve,
In humble, meek obedience live,
And labour, and endure.”
He spake it, and it must be so;
But first He said, “Be poor;
Hunger, and thirst, repent, and grieve,
In humble, meek obedience live,
And labour, and endure.”
Thus, thus may I the prize pursue,
And all the' appointed paths pass through
To perfect poverty:
Thus let me, Lord, Thyself attain,
And give Thee up Thine own again,
Absorb'd and lost in Thee.
And all the' appointed paths pass through
To perfect poverty:
Thus let me, Lord, Thyself attain,
And give Thee up Thine own again,
Absorb'd and lost in Thee.
