Take Up Thy Cross
Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34-35 First Line: "Take up thy cross" the Savior said Lyrics: 1. "Take up thy cross," the Savior said,
"if thou wouldst my disciple be;
deny thyself, the world forsake,
and humbly follow after me."
2. Take up thy cross, let not its weight
fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear thy spirit up,
and brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.
3. Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
nor let thy foolish pride rebel;
thy Lord for thee the cross endured,
to save thy soul from death and hell.
4. Take up thy cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown.

Take Up Thy Cross
Jesus, and Shall It Ever Be
Author: Joseph Grigg; Benjamin Francis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,269 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:38 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be,
a mortal man ashamed of thee?
Ashamed of thee whom angels praise,
whose glories shine through endless days!
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
let evening blush to own a star:
he sheds the beams of light divine
o'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
let midnight be ashamed of noon;
'tis midnight with my soul till he,
bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend
on whom my hopes of heav'n depend!
No, when I blush, be this my shame,
that I no more revere his name.
5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may
when I've no guilt to wash away,
no tear to wipe, no good to crave,
no fears to quell, no soul to save.
6 Till then - nor is my boasting vain -
till then I boast a Savior slain;
and O may this my glory be,
that Christ is not ashamed of me.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,301 hymnals 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.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,937 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:38 First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
a follower of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own his cause,
or blush to speak his name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
supported by thy word.

New every morning is the love
Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 360 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove,
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray, --
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If, on our daily course, our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask, --
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love,
for perfect life with you above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; God in daily living; Prayer Used With Tune: TRURO

Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 919 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:38 Lyrics:
1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, "Christian, follow me."
2 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and family,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of work and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us; by your mercies,
Savior, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all.

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34-37 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
4 O generous love! that he who smote
in Man, for man, the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;
4 And in the garden secretly,
and on the Cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
5 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: GERONTIUS
