FEW WHOLLY FAITHFUL, by                    
First Line: Many sit at jesus' table
Last Line: Give me love like this
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Many sit at Jesus' table;
Few will fast with Him
When the sorrow cup of anguish
Trembles to the brim;
Few watch with Him in the garden
Who have sung the hymn.

Many will confess His wisdom;
Few embrace His shame;
Many, while He smiles upon them,
Loud His praise proclaim;
Then if for a while He tries them
They desert His name.

But the souls who love supremely
Let woe come or bliss,
These will count their dearest heart's blood
Not their own, but His.
Saviour, Thou who thus hast loved me.
Give me love like this.
