[To suffer, and abstain]

If any man will come after Me, let him deny, &c. —xvi. 24.

To suffer, and abstain
My calling here I see,
Renounce myself, my Lord to gain,
And die, to live with Thee:
With Thee I daily die,
Thy welcome burden bear,
And follow after to the sky,
And claim a kingdom there.
The law which Jesus gives
Who will not yet obey,
A burden to himself he lives,
Nor finds the narrow way:
But who himself denies,
And keeps the patient word,
Charged with the cross he runs, he flies,
To meet his heavenly Lord.
