Hymns - Our Example - Текст песни

# Jesus left a home of dazzling splendor,
For this sinful world with sorrow dim;
Humbly filling the place of a servant,
And He calls us all to follow Him.

 * Refrain:
 Jesus, we will follow in Thy footprints,
 Share Thy suffering and shame and loss:
 For the glory that is set before us,
 We will triumph in the Savior's cross.

# Jesus lived a life of self-denial,
With His visage marred by grief and woe;
But now sits in the throne with the Father,
And example leaves us here below.
# If like Paul, we're cast into the prison,
Or through burning, fiery flames should go,
Can we glory in such persecution?
Bear the image of our Lord below?
# Would we be disciples of the Master,
And the splendor of His mansion share?
We must gladly endure tribulation,
Then a crown in heaven we shall wear
