Il testo della Cup of loneliness

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
