Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals 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 every fond ambition, All I've sought or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heaven 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; Heaven 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 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven'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 shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.
