Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

772 (C.M.) James Maxwell

Didst Thou, dear Jesus, suffer shame

And bear the cross for me?

And shall I fear to own Thy name,

Or Thy disciple be?

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 their slander gain

To Thee I cheerfully submit,

And all my pow'rs resign;

Let wisdom point out what is fit,

And I'll no more repine.
