John 1:37: Naked is my heart to Thee
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Naked is my heart to Thee:
Would I not Thy follower be?
Tread the path which Thou hast trod,
Track Thee, Saviour, by Thy blood,
Meekly Thine afflictions share.
Every day Thy burden bear,
Drink Thy passion's second cup,
Fill the mournful measure up?
Thou didst once for sin atone,
Tread the winepress quite alone,
Yet I may Thy grief partake.
Suffer for my Master's sake,
Through the strength Thy cross supplies
Mingle with Thy sacrifice.
Bow my head on yonder tree,
Die for One who died for me.
