265.
[O could I so perfidious be]
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he, &c.
—x. 39.
O could I so perfidious be,
Jesus, by once denying Thee,
My wretched life to save,
My life, which so preserved I find,
I soon should lose, by Thee consign'd
To that infernal grave.
Jesus, by once denying Thee,
My wretched life to save,
243
I soon should lose, by Thee consign'd
To that infernal grave.
But if I cheerfully forego
For Thy dear sake my life below,
My life conceal'd above
Shall I not find it, Lord, again,
And full felicity obtain
In Thine eternal love?
For Thy dear sake my life below,
My life conceal'd above
Shall I not find it, Lord, again,
And full felicity obtain
In Thine eternal love?
Thy faithful promise I receive,
And only for Thy glory live,
Till Thou my life require:
And if my heart Thy Spirit fill,
I gladly suffer all Thy will,
And on Thy cross expire.
And only for Thy glory live,
Till Thou my life require:
And if my heart Thy Spirit fill,
I gladly suffer all Thy will,
And on Thy cross expire.
