Their Jesus they are viewing, by faith we see him, too,
We smile and weep and praise him, and on our way pursue;
(repeated as above)
Though sinners do despise us and treat us with disdain,
Our former comrades slight us, esteem us low and mean;
No earthly joy shall charm us while marching on our way,
Our Jesus will defend us in the distressing day.
The frowns of old companions we’re willing to sustain,
And, in divine compassion, to pray for them again;
For Christ, our loving Savior, our Comforter and Friend,
