Nor less when He de­nies;
Nearer to Him who hath died;
To faith­ful fol­low­ers giv’n;
Loving God for­ev­er;
There’s One who is faith­ful,
Who would not glad­ly en­dure
Help us by Thine almigh­ty name
Our anx­ious bur­dens fall;
On Cal­va­ry was slain.
My hoard­ed gains, my loss­es,
And all may be such by His grace;
Eternal years be­yond earth’s cru­el frowns;
At Thy feet I fall;
What will it mat­ter, by and by
I take them to Je­sus, the Man of Cal­va­ry;

cross­es

And how easy our bur­dens to bear,
Are bless­ings in dis­guise.
Nearer the Cru­ci­fied.
Then rest, sweet rest, in Heav’n.
Murmuring—Oh, nev­er.
Go tell it to Je­sus alone!
Riches like these to se­cure!
Consoled by Thy great ago­ny.
Who finds in God his all.
Seem more than we can bear;
I bring to Thee,
And shine in the light of His face.
Eternal years to wear un­fad­ing crowns.
All my sins for­give,
Whether my path­way was cloudy or bright,
And al­ways takes the hea­vy end,
