“Lo, we have left all and followed thee.” Mark 10. 28

1 Jesus, we our cross have taken,
  All to leave and follow thee;
  Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
  Thou, from hence, our All shalt be.

2 Let the world despise and leave us;
  They have left the Saviour too;
  Human hearts and looks deceive us;
  Thou art not, like them, untrue.

3 And while thou shalt smile upon us,
  God of wisdom, love, and might,
  Foes may hate, and friends disown us,
  Show thy face, and all is bright.

4 Man may trouble and distress us,
  ’Twill but drive us to thy breast;
  Life with trials hard may press us,
  Heaven will bring us sweeter rest.
