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.
Refrain
