220. Let Us Ever Walk With Jesus

1 Let us ever walk with Jesus,
Follow His example pure,
Flee the world with all its pleasures
That to sin the soul allure.
Onward let us move as pilgrims,
Sojourn here, yet dwell above,
That by faith and hope and love
We may prove our heav'nly calling.
Savior mine, abide with me;
Still lead on, I follow Thee.

2 Let us suffer here with Jesus
And with patience bear our cross;
Joy upon our grief will follow,
Gain will be what here is loss;
They who now in tears are sowing
Yonder shall but laughter reap;
God will comfort those we weep,
Changing dismal rain to sunshine.
I will bear Thy woes with Thee;
Jesus, share Thy joys with me.

3 Let us gladly die with Jesus:
By His death He conquered death;
He the dead will surely quicken
And restore to life and breath.
Let us mortify, while living,
All the carnal lusts within,
That by grace we thus may win
Life immortal up in heaven.
Jesus, unto Thee I die,
E'er to live with Thee on high.

4 Let us also live with Jesus:
Having risen from the dead,
He His own to life will waken;
Jesus, since Thou art our Head,
We, Thy body's living members,
Shall forever live with Thee.
Dearest Friend, O let us be
Known to Thee as Thy true brethren.
Jesus, since I live to Thee,
Life eternal grant Thou me.
