Fellowship With Christ
To pray as Jesus prayed, When faithless brethren sleep, - To weep the ruin sin has made - The only ones that weep, - To bear the heavy cross, - To toil, yet murmur not, - To suffer pain, reproach, and loss, - Be such our earthly lot. Yet oh, how richly blest The Master's cup to share, - The aching grief that wrung His breast, - His broken-hearted prayer, - If thus we may but gain One sheaf of golden wheat Gleaned from Earth's sultry harvest-plain, To lay at His dear feet! - If thus we may but win One precious earthly gem Snatched from the mire of vice and sin, For His rich diadem! - Here, sorrow, patience, prayer; In Heaven, the rich reward! Here, the sharp thorns, the cross, - and there "Forever with the Lord"!
