With my blood and tears pay the price to gain the crown, Suffer loss that I might a pilgrim’s life live out, For, Lord, this is how You lived Your life when You walked on this earthly sphere, Gladly bore all loss that those who drew near Could be freed from all suffering and fear.

May You in this difficult, tedious day, All my tears shed in secret wipe away; Learning You are my only solacement, And let my life for others’ joy be spent.
Saints, it doesn't matter whether this hymn written by Watchman nee is in the exact lyrics or in revised should be in this hymnal.net. It's the matter of life! We're in the principle of right or wrong not in life. As long as my spirit touches life in this hymn and there's nothing wrong about the lyrics itself.
I have read this hymn when I was young, but not be touched so much until now.
"Learning You are my only solacement,
And let my life for others’ joy be spent."
We often expect to find solacement from many things or persons those are not The Lord Himself. May The Lord enlighten us that we can look unto Him alone and hope in Him alone. And we do not live to please ourselves but to please The Lord. Amen!
An earlier translation of this hymn. As others have posted, and I agree, this is more excellently written:
Let me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded;
Let me labor and not be remembered;
Let me suffer and not be regarded.
'Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
'Tis the breaking, not the keeping -
A life suff'ring to seek others' blessing,
A life loving and true comfort giving.
Not expecting pity and concern,
Not accepting solace and applause;
Even lonely, even forgotten,
Even wordless, even forsaken.
Tears and blood my price for the righteous crown shall be;
Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim's life,
'Twas the life, O Lord, that You chose to live
In those days when on earth You walked,
Gladly suff'ring all injuries and loss
So that all might draw near and repose.
I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return.
Let me follow Your pattern so perfect and true,
Bearing ingratitudes without complaint.
In this time of trial, O my Lord, I pray
that You'd wipe all my hidden tears away;
Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward,
Let me be others' blessing all my days.
I enjoyed "On this path of no retreating I am led." After spending 6 months in the FTT, I went back to work for the break. Now I find that my colleague who was also my good friend since university now lives a completely different life to me. We could have chosen to live the wealthy life they do, but we have been gloriously wrecked! Even if we take that path we would not be happy. We want to live for the Lord's testimony. This is a path of no retreating. Once, by His mercy, we've been captured by this vision there is no retreating. We are no longer able to live in a vain way again. Praise the Lord.
A sister shared this hymn with me today. I read it originally in Chinese. It just so touched my heart. I usually find the cross very heavy but things impossible with men are really possible for God.
I really like this song, the only thing I am confuse is that there is a song that is officially from Watchman Nee. Maybe this is the new version. But I like the older version = =.
I will sing this song for the gospel and young people's meeting this week. I would use the older version lyrics.
