Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Rev. H. F. Lyte Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals Topics: Confession of Christ 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 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. Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me: Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue; And, while thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me; Show thy face, and all is bright. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee; What a Father's smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 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, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Used With Tune: [Jesus, I my cross have taken]

Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Joseph Grigg, 1728 (?)-1768 Appears in 1,274 hymnals Topics: Confession Of Christ 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 heaven 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 Saviour slain; And oh! may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!

Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, "Yes.” Used With Tune: [Art thou weary, art thou languid]
