“Lo, we have left all and followed thee.” Mark 10. 28
H. F. Lyte 8.7.
1
Jesus, we our cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, our All shalt be.
2
Let the world despise and leave us;
They have left the Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive us;
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
3
And while thou shalt smile upon us,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends disown us,
Show thy face, and all is bright.
4
Man may trouble and distress us,
’Twill but drive us to thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press us,
Heaven will bring us sweeter rest.
