[Master, I would no longer be]

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his Master. —x. 25.

Master, I would no longer be
Loved by a world that hated Thee,
But patient in Thy footsteps go,
Entreated like my Lord below:
I would (but Thou must give the power)
With meekness meet the fiery hour,
The shame despise, the cross abide;
For Thou wast scourged, and crucified!
