Above thine own

- Above thine own ambitions here,
- another voice is sounding clear;
- it is the call of God to thee,
- ‘Oh, leave thine all and follow Me.’
- Go through with God, thy vows to pay,
- thy life upon the altar lay;
- the Holy Ghost will do the rest,
- and bring to thee God's very best!
- The call of God, it is so clear,
- but friendships call, and home is dear;
- ah, lonely was the path He trod;
- then wilt thou not go through with God?
- So soon Eternal Morn shall dawn,
- how fast the night is hastening on;
- so soon His lovely face to see,
- how sad to empty handed be!
- The price is high, severe the test,
- for those who would enjoy God's best;
- surrender all, then take the road,
- with those who will go through with
- God
