252. The Christian’s robe and badge of love

1 The Christian’s robe and badge of love It is the cross of Christ. And he who knows the worth thereof Will bear it without sighs. 2 We take it meekly, bear it true, And know it is our gain. We bear it not upon our breast, Oh, no, it is within. 3 And should it pain, should it be sore, We still remain in faith; We know Whose Name we do adore, What in His word He saith. 4 We bear it but a little while, A pledge of things to come, Of garments glorious and white In that eternal home.
