I see Christian pilgrims So redeemed from sin Called out of darkness A new life to begin Were you ever in the valley When the way is dark and dim? Did you ever drink the cup Of loneliness with Him? Did you ever have them laugh at you And say, it was a fake? The stand that you so boldly For the Lord did take Did you ever have them mock at you And laugh in ways quite grim? Did you ever drink the cup Of loneliness with Him? Did you ever try to preach Then old fashioned pray? And even when you did it That did not seem a way And you lost all courage Then lost all you vim. Did you ever drink the cup Of loneliness with him? All my friends 'tis bitter sweet While here on earthly sod To follow in the footsteps That our dear Savior trod To suffer with the Savior And when the way is dark and dim To think of the bitter cup Of loneliness with Him
