Lyrics

The blood-red sweat in the gar­den
And the brok­en heart on the tree,
Are enough for my suf­fer­ing Sav­ior
To bear on earth for me.

Refrain

Till I meet Him in the glo­ry,
May I glad­den His yearn­ing soul
By bring­ing each day to Je­sus
Some wan­der­er from the fold.

My sins and fol­lies that grieve Him,
As He watch­es me day by day,
Are enough for my pa­tient Sav­ior
To bear along life’s way.

Refrain

The scoffs of those who des­pise Him,
And the sneers of those who re­vile,
Are enough for my lov­ing Sav­ior
To bear for me awhile.
