“_Far be it for me to glory save in the Cross_” GAL. vi., 14.
“Nid oes gwrthrych ar y ddaear”
EARTH’S emoluments and pleasure
Fail to fascinate my mind
When I contemplate the treasure
Gained by Christ for all mankind.
He, though greater than a creature
Such as I can comprehend,
Can compose my craving nature
With the Comfort of a Friend.
O for Grace to live depending
On His Merits and to meet,
After death, in life unending,
Him before the judgment seat!—
Grace to bear whatever crosses
Come, because He bore His Own,
And to learn that earthly losses
Lead to where no care is known!
