The Cross Is Not Greater
Author: B. B. Meter: 9.7.9.7.9.9.7.7.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 First Line: The cross that He gave may be heavy Refrain First Line: The cross is not greater than His grace Lyrics: 1 The cross that He gave may be heavy,
But it ne’er outweighs His grace;
The storm that I feared may surround me,
But it ne’er excludes His face.
Refrain:
The cross is not greater than His grace,
The storm cannot hide His blessed face;
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer every foe.
2 The thorns in my path are not sharper
Than composed His crown for me;
The cup that I drink not more bitter
Than He drank in Gethsemane. [Refrain]
3 The light of His love shineth brighter,
As it falls on paths of woe;
The toil of my work groweth lighter,
As I stoop to raise the low. [Refrain]
4 His will have I joy in fulfilling,
As I’m walking in His sight;
My all to the blood I am bringing,
It alone can keep me right.

He Who Would Valiant Be
Author: John Bunyan; Percy Dearmer Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 151 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be
'Gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy
Follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories
Do but themselves confound—
His strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might;
Though he with giants fight,
He will make good his right
To be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
Us with thy Spirit,
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Christian Year Lent; Other Observances Christian Education; Other Observances Stewardship Used With Tune: ST. DUNSTAN'S

If Jesus Goes with Me
Author: C. Austin Miles Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 First Line: It may be in the valley, where countless dangers hide Refrain First Line: If Jesus goes with me, I'll go anywhere! Lyrics: 1 It may be in the valley, where countless dangers hide;
It may be in the sunshine that I, in peace, abide;
But this one thing I know—-if it be dark or fair,
If Jesus is with me,
I’ll go anywhere!
Chorus:
If Jesus goes with me, I’ll go
Anywhere!
’Tis heaven to me,
Where’er I may be,
If He is there!
I count it a privilege here,
His cross to bear,
If Jesus goes with me,
I’ll go
Anywhere!
2 It may be I must carry the blessed Word of life
Across the burning deserts to those in sinful strife;
And tho' it be my lot to bear my colors there,
If Jesus goes with me,
I’ll go anywhere! (Chorus)
3 But if it be my portion to bear my cross at home,
While others bear their burdens beyond the billow’s foam,
I’ll prove my faith in Him—-confess His judgments fair,
And, if He stays with me,
I’ll stay anywhere! (Chorus)
4 It is not mine to question the judgments of my Lord,
It is but mine to follow the leadings of His Word;
But if to go or stay, or whether here or there,
I’ll be, with my Savior,
Content anywhere! (Chorus)

for us did fast and pray,
teach us with you to mourn our sins
and close by you to stay.

and did the victory win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
in you to conquer sin.

so teach us, gracious Lord,
to die to self, and so to live
by your most holy Word.

and thro' your Passiontide,
forevermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.

an Easter of unending joy
we may at last attain! Topics: Conflict Spiritual Used With Tune: LAND OF REST
