Since I to the cross did flee,

Keep in heart, be ev­er pa­tient,
Envious tales, or strife un­kind,
Thy daz­zling beau­ties whilst he sings,
Closer, clos­er drawn to Thee;
And dragged him through the sky,
Shall death it­self out­brave,
And yet ’tis hard to feel re­signed
Thy threat­en­ing and pre­serv­ing word
With flat­ter­ing looks she tempts our hearts,
Jesus rose to­day;
And on we to per­fect­ion go,
In vain to Heav’n we raise our cries,
Longing, hop­ing for the light;
In the home fair above the sky,

be­hind

Cast thy ev­ery weight aside;
I will nev­er turn from Thee.
That shelf be­hind the door—
Dark hea­then gloom be­fore,
The world be­hind me, the cross be­fore me,
Haste to the mount­ain, thy re­fuge is there;
Be not gloomy or dis­cour­aged,
Leaving bit­ter thoughts be­hind.
And ranks of shin­ing thrones around
All in Thee, O Christ, to find;
That man no more may die.
Leave dull mor­tal­ity be­hind,
But when the pil­grim’s staff we take,
The crowd alarmed with short sur­prise,
With names of vir­tue she de­ceives
Seek the nar­row way.
end
Nothing but truth be­fore His throne
Jesus is our strength and might.
But we nev­er will say good­bye.
