[Jesus spake the word to all]
If any man will come after Me, let him deny, &c.
—ix. 23.
Jesus spake the word to all,
All in every time and place;
Rich and poor, and great and small,
Every child of Adam's race,
Would ye His disciples be?
Follow Christ to Calvary.
All in every time and place;
Rich and poor, and great and small,
Every child of Adam's race,

Follow Christ to Calvary.
Not a single soul excused,
Not a day exempted is:
Heaven is with the cross refused,
Glorious everlasting bliss:
Who the Saviour's burden shun
Down to endless ruin run.
Not a day exempted is:
Heaven is with the cross refused,
Glorious everlasting bliss:
Who the Saviour's burden shun
Down to endless ruin run.
You who revel every day,
Every day in pleasures live,
Will not Jesus' word obey,
Will not Jesus' yoke receive,
With your own desires comply
Dead in sin for ever die.
Every day in pleasures live,
Will not Jesus' word obey,
Will not Jesus' yoke receive,
With your own desires comply
Dead in sin for ever die.
