| Text: | With Jesus |

| Tune: | [I'll bear the cross with Jesus] |
| Composer: | Fannie Birdsall |
1 I'll bear the cross with Jesus,
Endure reproach and shame,
From sin and guilt he frees us,
All glory to his name.
Chorus:
I'll bear the cross for Jesus,
His saving grace I know,
He gave himself a ransom,
For me his love to show.
2 I'll suffer here with Jesus,
For suff'ring he endured,
Salvation free he brought us,
Thro' his most precious blood. [Chorus]
3 I'll work while here for Jesus,
Forth to his vineyard go,
Prove faithful in his service,
His richest blessings know. [Chorus]
4 I'm looking for my Jesus,
He'll come to earth again.
His promise still assures us,
We do not wait in vain. [Chorus]
5 I'm longing for his coming,
The prophets say 'tis near,
The faithful ones are waiting
His advent to us here. [Chorus]
