Cup of Loneliness LyricsI say Christian pilgrim, soul redeemed from sin
Called out of darkness a new life to begin
Were you ever in the valley where 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 they ever mock at you and laugh in ways quite grim?
Did you ever share the cup of loneliness with him?
Did you ever try to preach then hold fast and pray?
And even when you did it, there did not seem a way
And when you lost your courage then lost all your vim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with him?
Oh my friends 'tis bitter sweet while here on earthly sod
To follow in the footsteps that my dear Savior trod
To suffer with the savior and when the way is dark and dim
To drink of the bitter cup of loneliness with him
