Cross, reproach, and tribulation
1
Cross, reproach, and tribulation!Ye to me are welcome guests,When I have this consolation,That my soul in Jesus rests.
2
The reproach of Christ is glorious!Those who here his burden bear,In the end shall prove victorious,And eternal gladness share.
3
Bonds and stripes, and evil storyAre our honorable crowns;Pain is peace, and shame is glory,Gloomy dungeons are as thrones.
