And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? 2 Are there no foes to me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Sure I must fight if I would reign: Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 3 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar By faith's discerning eye. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry thro' the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
