[Jesus no exception leaves]

Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny, &c. —viii. 34.

Jesus no exception leaves,
Our self-denying Lord
Calls the multitude, and gives
The universal word:
What to them the Saviour spoke
Doth every age and nation bind,
Lays alike the sacred yoke
On us, and all mankind.
Ministers and people too
Must now themselves forsake,
Keep the Crucified in view
And Jesus' cross partake;
Daily in His footsteps tread,
His sacrificial spirit breathe,
Till like Him they bow the head,
And die their latest death.
Lord, if Thou the grace supply
And mark me with Thy name,
I shall still renounce, deny
Whate'er I have or am;

19

Judgment, memory, mind, and will,
The Adam old opposed to Thee,
Thou my heavenly Adam, kill,
And live alone in me.
