Rejoice in the Lord ‎#264

264. Lord, Who Shall Sit Beside Thee?

1 Lord, who shall sit beside thee,
enthroned on either hand,
when clouds no longer hide thee
'mid all thy faithful band?

2 Who drinks the cup of sorrow
the Father gave to thee
'neath shadows of the morrow
in dark Gethsemane?

3 Who on thy passion thinking
can find in loss a gain,
and dare to meet unshrinking
thy baptism of pain?

4 O Jesus, form within us
thy likeness clear and true;
by thine example win us
to suffer and to do.

5 This law itself fulfilleth;
Christlike to Christ is nigh;
whoe'er the Father willeth
shall sit with Christ on high.
