Count Well the Cost

Author: Alexander Mack Sr.; Ora W. Graber Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:26-33 First Line: “Count well the cost,” Christ Jesus says Lyrics: 1 “Count well the cost,” Christ Jesus says, “when you lay the foundation.” Are you resolved, though all seem lost, to risk your reputation, your self, your wealth, for Christ the Lord, as you now give your solemn word? 2 Into Christ’s death be buried now through baptism’s joyous union. No selfish claim should you allow if you desire communion when Christ’s redeemed together meet, the bread of fellowship to eat. 3 Within the church’s warm embrace the child of God is molded. God’s Spirit lights the infant face, and in God’s grace is folded. With childlike steps, Christ’s plan we trace, till we grow up in godly grace. 4 In Christian growth we are matured, of fruitful vines a token. That this good growth may be assured ofttimes to us is broken the bread of fellowship replete when Christ’s redeemed together meet.
