1.

Jesus gave to you the call:
His disciple be.
You, like Him, must give up all;
His disciple be.
“Follow Me,” you’ve heard Him say.
If you want to go the way,
Hate your self-life and obey;
His disciple be.

2.

There’s but one way to progress:
His disciple be.
You must walk in lowliness.
His disciple be.
Be not bound by friend or kin;
Break from them and ways of sin.
Don’t reject Christ’s call within.
His disciple be.

3.

Live as Christ; His suff’rings share.
His disciple be.
You’ll with Him be fellow heir.
His disciple be.
Let the fire burn sin away.
Home with all the saints one day
You’ll appear in pure array.
His disciple be.

4.

Christ gives pow’r this life to live.
His disciple be.
For His sake yourself here give.
His disciple be.
Lift your head! Be not downcast.
Trust in Jesus till the last.
On the solid Rock stand fast.
His disciple be.
