The firmness of one, Who follows his call

Verse 1
The firmness of one Who follows his call,
With courage unknown May animate all:
Who trace his example, The world we disdain,
And fearlesly trample On danger and pain.

Verse 2
Imbolden’d by grace, The mount we ascend,
And joyfully praise Our heavenly Friend;
With confidence steady On Him we rely,
And then we are ready For Jesus to die.
