John 12:26: Jesus, while yet a Man of woe
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Jesus, while yet a Man of woe
On earth Thou saidst " In heaven I am!"
And all who in Thy footsteps go
Thy place above by promise claim,
Feeble and faint, yet following on,
Thy servant shall ascend Thy throne.
The least of Thy disciples I
Of all that ever knew Thy love.
On Thy most faithful word rely.
And wait till Thou my soul remove,
To see the house Thou hast prepared.
To win through grace Thy own reward.
