262 Revelation S. M. O What, if We are Christ's SAMUEL GEE I. O what, if we are Christ's, Is earth-ly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be, When we have borne the cross. 2 Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ's sufferings shared below. 3 Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where, on the bosom of their God, 4 Lord! may that grace be ours; Like them in faith to bear 5 Enough, if Thou at last The word of blessing give, 6 All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom heaven and earth adore; A-men. HENRY WILLIAMS BAKER Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we de-plore. A-men. 2 Our broken spirits pitying see; True penitence impart; Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign, And not a thought our bosoms share Which is not wholly Thine. 4 May faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies, And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it or denies. Amen. JOSEPH DACRE CARLYLE |
