  For man the Savior shed His all atoning blood, And, oh, shall ransomed man refuse To suffer for his God? Ashamed who now can be To own the Crucified? Nay, rather be our glory this, To die for Him Who died? So felt Thy martyr, Lord; By Thy right hand sustained, He waged for Thee the battle’s strife, And threatened death disdained. Upon the golden crown Gazing with eager breath, He fought as one who fain would die, And, dying, conquer death. Alone he stood unmoved Amid his cruel foes; Oh, wondrous was the might that then Above his torturers rose! Lord, give us grace to bear Like him our cross of shame, To do and suffer what Thou wilt, For love of Thy dear Name. Jesu, the King of saints, We praise Thee and adore, Who art, with God the Father One And Spirit evermore.

• [Mar 8:36] If I Gained The World

  If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Were my life worth living for a day? Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort In the things that soon must pass away? If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife? Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing For a moment with a Christ-filled life? Had I wealth and love in fullest measure, And a name revered both far and near, Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting, Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer; If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Who endured the cross and died for me, Could then all the world afford a refuge, Whither, in my anguish, I might flee? O what emptiness!—without the Savior ’Mid the sins and sorrows here below! And eternity, how dark without Him! Only night and tears and endless woe! What, though I might live without the Savior, When I come to die, how would it be? O to face the valley’s gloom without Him! And without Him all eternity! O the joy of having all in Jesus! What a balm the broken heart to heal! Ne’er a sin so great, but He’ll forgive it, Nor a sorrow that He does not feel! If I have but Jesus, only Jesus, Nothing else in all the world beside— O then everything is mine in Jesus; For my needs and more He will provide.
