The bitter death as He did on the cross.
115 They are filled with fear and few of them think
What words they shall speak in response to Christ.
Then no feeling of fright or fear need he have
Who bears on his heart the brightest of tokens,
But there shall come to the kingdom through the cross and its power
120 All the souls of the saved from the sorrows of earth,
Of the holy who hope for a home with their Lord.”
Then I adored the cross with undaunted courage,
With the warmest zeal, while I watched alone
