With Jesus as your fellow
To Jesus as your Head!

As Jesus did for men;
O happy if ye hunger
As Jesus hungered then!

The sorrows ye endure
The manifold temptations
That death alone can cure

Of right celestial worth?
What are they but the ladder
Set up to heaven on earth?

Look upward to the skies
Where such a light affliction
Shall win you such a prize!
