H. Alford In token that thou shalt not fear CHRIST Crucified to own, We print the Cross upon thee here, And stamp thee His alone. In token that thou shalt not blush To glory in His Name, We blazon here upon thy front His glory and His shame. In token that thou shalt not flinch CHRIST's quarrel to maintain, But 'neath His banner manfully Firm at thy post remain; In token that thou too shalt tread The path He travell'd by, Endure the cross, despise the shame, And sit thee down on high; Thus, outwardly and visibly, We seal thee for His own; And may the brow that wears His Cross Hereafter share His Crown! |
