How Shall I Follow Him I Serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:8 Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,-- Are these the consecrated road? 3 'Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. 4 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 5 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night: 6 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please: And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? 7 Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory. Amen. Topics: Church Year Lent; Sexagesima; Lenten Hymns; Lent, First Sunday; Holy Week; Cross-bearing; Trials Used With Tune: MARYTON

Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord, my God. Amen. Topics: Fellowship with God Used With Tune: LANGRAN
