Take your cross and fol¤low Je¤sus,
Though nar¤row the way and strait
By the world He loved, re¤ject¤ed,
He suf¤fered out¤side the gate.

Chorus:
He suf¤fered out¤side the gate,
En¤dur¤ing the scorn and hate,
Re¤ject¤ed, God’s Ho¤ly one died,
Dis¤hon¤oured out¤side the gate.

Though the world may frown up¤on you,
How hap¤py is your es¤tate.
To walk with the Prince of Glo¤ry,
Who suf¤fered out¤side the gate.

Oh, re¤fuse not Him that speak¤eth,
Make haste ere it be too late,
Choose re¤proach with God’s a¤noint¤ed,
Who suf¤fered out¤side the gate.

Oh, think of the low¤ly Sav¤iour,
And no long¤er hes¤i¤tate,
But share in your Lord’s re¤jec¤tion,
Who suf¤fered out¤side the gate.
