Oh! What, If We Are Christ’s

Oh! what

if we are Christ’s

Is earth­ly shame or loss?

Bright shall the crown of glo­ry be

When we have borne the cross.

Keen was the tri­al once

Bitter the cup of woe

When mar­tyred saints

bap­tized in blood

Christ’s suf­fer­ings shared be­low:

Bright is their glo­ry now

Boundless their joy ab­ove

Where

on the bo­som of their God

They rest in per­fect love.

Lord

may that grace be ours

Like them in faith to bear

All that of sor­row

grief or pain

May be our por­tion here.

Enough if Thou at last

The word of bless­ing give

And let us rest be­neath Thy feet

Where saints and an­gels live.

All glo­ry

Lord

to Thee

Whom Heav’n and earth adore;

To Fa­ther

Son

and Ho­ly Ghost

One God for­ev­er­more.
