Didst thou, dear Jesus, suffer shame,
And bear the cross for me?
And shall I fear to own thy name,
Or thy disciple be!
Forbid it, Lord, that I should dread
To suffer shame or loss;
Oh, let me in thy footsteps tread,
And glory in thy cross.
Inspire my soul with life divine.
And holy courage bold;
Let knowledge, faith, and meekness shine,
Nor love, nor zeal grow cold.
Say to my soul, "Why dost thou fear
The face of feeble clay?
Behold thy Saviour ever near.
Will guard thee in the way."
Oh how my soul would rise and run,
At this reviving word:
Nor any painful sufferings shun.
To follow thee, my Lord.
Let sinful men, reproach, defame,
And call me what they will.
If I may glorify thy name,
And be thy servant still.
'Let mockers scoff, let men defame,
And treat me with disdain;
Still may I glorify thy name,
And count their slander, gain.'
To thee I cheerfully submit,
And all my powers resign;
Let wisdom point out what is fit,
And I'll no more repine.

---Alternative verses---
Inspire my soul with life divine.
And make me truly bold;
Let knowledge, faith, and meekness shine,
Nor love, nor zeal grow cold.
'Let mockers scoff, let men defame,
And treat me with disdain;
Still may I glorify thy name,
And count reproach my gain.'
