And life is one glad psalm?
If we take up the cross, will we but suffer pain?
On His altar will He heed,

That bound Thee to the tree?
Of the life here, or in the better land?

Dare the vine self-pity show?

Is when the waves beat high,
The meaning of the cross is that we may be slain;
When He whispered, “I have need.”
When He whispered, “I have need.”
Thy love for me, for me.
Shall now be moulded by the Potter’s hand.
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
Even when I prayed, my
To the one who wounds it so,
