Lyrics

Who will suf­fer with the Sav­ior,
Take the lit­tle that re­mains
Of the cup of tri­bu­la­tion
Jesus drank in dy­ing pain?

Refrain

Lord, we fel­low­ship Thy pass­ion,
Gladly suf­fer shame and loss;
With Thy bless­ing pain is plea­sure,
We will glo­ry in Thy cross.

Who will of­fer soul and bo­dy
On the al­tar of our God?
Leaving self and world­ly mam­mon,
Take the path that Je­sus trod?

Refrain

O for con­se­crat­ed ser­vice
’Mid the din of Ba­bel strife!
Who will dare the truth to her­ald
At the per­il of his life?

Refrain

Soon the con­flict will be ov­er,
Crowns await the firm and pure;
Forward, breth­ren, work and suf­fer,
Faithful to the end en­dure.
