A kingly crown to gain;

His blood-red banner streams afar;

Who follows in his train ?

Who best can drink his cup-of woe

Triumphant over pain,

Who patient bears his cross below,

He follows in his train.
The martyr first, whose eagle eye

Could pierce beyond the grave,

Who saw his Master in the sky,

And called on him to save ;

Like him, with pardon on his tongue,

In midst of mortal pain,

He prayed for them that did the wrong:

Who follows in his train ?
A glorious band, the chosen few

On whom the Spirit came,

Twelve valiant saints,their hope they knew,

And mocked the cross and flame;

They met the tyrant's brandished steel,

The lion's gory mane ;

They bowed their necks the stroke to feel;

Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,

The matron and the maid,

Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,

In robes of light arrayed:

They climbed the steep ascent of heaven

Thro' peril, toil, and pain:

O God, to us may grace be given

To follow in their train? Amen.
