Hymnal: Laudes Domini #995 (1884) First Line: Oh, what if we are Christ's Lyrics: 1 Oh, what, if we are Christ's,
Is earthly shame or loss?
Bright shall the crown of glory be,
When we have borne the cross.
2 Keen was the trial once,
Bitter the cup of woe,
When martyred saints, baptized in blood,
Christ's sufferings shared below.
3 Bright is their glory now,
Boundless their joy above,
Where on the bosom of their God,
They rest in perfect love.
4 Lord, may that grace be ours!
Like them in faith to bear
All that of sorrow, grief or pain,
May be our portion here!
5 Enough, if thou at last
The word of blessing give,
And let us rest beneath thy feet,
Where saints and angels live! Languages: English Tune Title: OWEN
