JESUS, I my cross have taken, All I've sought, or hop'd, or known, Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own! 2. Let the world despise and leave me ; 3. Go, then, earthly fame and treasure, I have call'd Thee Abba, Father, All must work for good to me. 4. Man may trouble and distress me, Oh! 'twere not in joy to charm me, 5. Soul, then know thy full salvation; Think what Spirit dwells within Thee; 6. Haste thee on from grace to glory, Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer, Heaven's eternal days before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
