Who, taking up his cross, essays

To follow Jesus all his days.

Parnell.

Through cross to crown! And, through the spirit’s life,

Trials untold assail with giant strength.

Good cheer! good cheer! Soon ends the bitter strife,

And thou shalt reign, in peace, with Christ, at length.

Rosegarten.

Or if, at times, wild storms shall hover, dark,

Still fix thy gaze upon that hallowed mark
