Shall I Really Be Called

Shall I really be called to bear The cross of toil and labour? To spread the gospel far and near? To proclaim it with fervour? Then I will bear the cross gladly, Since Jesus would do the same for me. Shall I really be called to drink The cup of persecution? To love God, though earthly gain shrinks? To serve in worse conditions? Then I will drink the cup gladly, Since Jesus would do the same for me. Shall I really be called to sleep The drearisome sleep of death? Even till grave the faith to keep? To lie in sheol unclothed? Then I would go to sleep calmly, Since Jesus would come to raise me.
