741.
[Soon as we truly willing are]
Simon . . . they compelled to bear His cross.
—xxvii. 32.
Soon as we truly willing are
To serve the Saviour's cause,
Forced by an adverse world,
We bear the scandal of Thy cross:
At first we bear it through constraint,
Till sprinkled with Thy blood
427
But bless the welcome load.
