COURAGE TO SACRIFICE.

By A. Trogan

BY A. TROGAN.
Can you lay all on the altar, brother, All things for Jesus’ sake? Can you give up all earthly treasures, From the world completely break?
Can you sacrifice friends, connections, The comforts of home, and its love? To tell to the lost and the erring There’s pardon and peace from above?
Can you brave the scoffs of the worldling, The sneers and reproaches of men, And from them draw courage and comfort, And rejoicing press onward again?
Can you, midst the fierce conflict, look upward? Can you cling to His sheltering side, And feel that through trials and suffering You would be made white and tried?
Oh, work in the Master’s wide vineyard; Be faithful, be constant, be true; Draw near to the presence of Jesus, And blessings will fall as the dew.
Though with sorrow the field you may enter, Returning ere long, you will bring Your sheaves with rejoicing homeward, And a welcome receive from the King.
