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.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,302 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.

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

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

Self-denial
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 138 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 First Line: And must I part with all I have Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have,
My dearest Lord for thee?
It is but right, since thou hast done
Much more than this for me.
2 Yes, let it go—one look from thee
Will more than make amends,
For all the losses I sustain
Of credit, riches, friends.
3 Ten thousand worlds, then thousand lives,
How worthless they appear
Compar'd with thee, supremely good,
Divinely bright and fair!
4 Savior of souls, could I from thee
A single smile obtain,
Tho' destitute of all things else,
I'd glory in my gain. Topics: Graces of the Spirit Self-Denial; Cross The Christians, taken up; Self Denial

Must Jesus bear the cross alone
Author: Allen Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,193 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 This consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
3 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.
4 And palms shall wave, and harps shall ring,
Beneath heaven's arches high;
The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing,
That lives no more to die.
5 Oh, precious cross! oh, glorious crown!
Oh, resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars coming down,
And bear my soul away. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Bearing the Cross
