Go to Him "without the camp,"

|
| 1. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | His reproach to gladly bear. |
| | Suffered He without the gate, |
| | How can I in comfort share? |
| 2. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | Willing e'en to bear the cross; |
| | He has trod the narrow way, |
| | I will follow, suff'ring loss. |
| 3. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | Dear ones, relatives forsake; |
| | He the Father's will did mind, |
| | In His passion I partake. |
| 4. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | His companion I will be; |
| | Never join religion's ranks |
| | Or the world's society. |
| 5. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | Though the path be lone and grim; |
| | Let all human friends desert, |
| | I am satisfied with Him. |
| 6. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | There to walk with Him, how blest! |
| | E'er to see His smiling face |
| | Ever in His presence rest. |
| 7. | Go to Him "without the camp," |
| | Till the dawning of the day; |
| | Then I'll see Him and rejoice, |
| | With Him in His kingdom stay. |
