Counted Worthy

Verse 1

Take the jeers and take the mocking, Brother, ‘twill not last for aye; Take the cross and bear it meekly, Waiting for the coming day.

Verse 2

Take the worst the world can offer, Persecution, suff’ring, shame; Jesus bore them all before thee; Be content to share the same.

Verse 3

‘Tis an honor, high and holy, To display His banner wide, And, before a world that hates Him, To exalt the Crucified.
