Author: Sir Henry William Baker Hymnal: CBWM1872 #442 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: ALL SAINTS Lyrics: 1 O, what, if we are Christ's,
Is earthly shame or loss?
Bright shall the crown of glory be
When we have borne the Cross.
2 Keen was the trial once,
Bitter the cup of woe,
When martyred saints, baptized in blood,
Christ's sufferings shared below.
3 Bright is their glory now,
Boundless their joy above,
Where on the bosom of their God
They rest in perfect love.
4 Lord, may that grace be ours,
Like them in faith to bear
All that of sorrow, grief, or pain,
May be our portion here:
5 Enough, if Thou at last
The word of blessing give,
And let us rest in Thine own home,
Where saints and angels live.
6 All glory, Lord, to Thee,
Whom heaven and earth adore;
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One God, for evermore. Topics: The Christian Life Trust in Christ and Redemption; Sundays in Lent; Easter Season, Thrid Sunday Languages: English
