Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #513 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
all to leave and follow thee;
destitute, despised, forsaken,
thou from hence my all shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
all I've sought or hoped or known;
yet how rich is my condition,
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me,
they have left my Savior too;
human hearts and looks deceive me;
thou art not, like man, untrue;
and, while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
foes may hate and friends may shun me;
show thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'twill but drive me to thy breast;
life with trials hard may press me,
heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
while thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
were that joy unmixed with thee.
4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
rise o'er sin and fear and care;
joy to find in ev'ry station
something still to do or bear;
think what Spirit dwells within thee,
what a Father's smile is thine,
what a Savior died to win thee:
child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine?
5 Hasten on from grace to glory,
armed by faith and winged by prayer;
heav'n's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
hope soon change to glad fruition,
faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Topics: Christian Life; Consecration and Obedience; Forsaking the World; Life Brevity of; Perseverance; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Self-Denial Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day his voice still calls us
saying "Christian, follow me."

by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
Jesus calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
5 Jesus calls us by your mercies,
Saviour, may we hear your call,
give our hearts in glad obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Topics: Discipleship; Jesus Christ Call of; One Life in Christ Faith; Sea / Ocean Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE

Faith of the martyrs, holy faith,

were still in heart and conscience free,
and bless’d would be their children’s fate
if they, like them, should die for thee! [Refrain]

both friend and foe in all our strife,
and preach thee, too, as love knows how,
by saving word and faithful life! [Refrain]
