#304How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him

1
How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve Which lead me to his seat above?
2
Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid that I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my grief, remembering thine.
3
O, let me think how thou didst leave Thy heavenly home of pure delights, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, Through toilsome days, through lonely nights!
4
All this thou didst, then died for me! Thou camest not thyself to please; And, dear though earthly comforts be, Shall I not love thee more than these?
