THE CROSS

By H. C. B.

Ashamed with Thee the cross to bear? O Son of God! forbid. Why should I not with boldness dare To walk where thou hast led? What buffeting and cruel scorn Didst thou endure for me? And is the crown without a thorn My heritage to be?
No, let me welcome pain and loss, And smile at toil and grief, And though I faint beneath the cross Wait meekly for relief. The oil of gladness on thy brow Was poured, O Holy One! Anoint me, Jesus, even now Like thee my course to run. —H. C. B. in Advocate and Guardian.
