Take Up Your Cross
Author: Charles W. Everest, 1814-1877 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals First Line: Take up your cross, the Savior said Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"If you would my disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after me."
2 Take up your cross: let not its weight
Fill your weak spirit with alarm;
His strength shall bear your spirit up,
And brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
And let your foolish heart be still;
The Lord for you accepted death
Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly ev'ry danger brave:
It guides you to a better home
And leads to vict'ry o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For those who humbly bear the cross
One day will wear the glorious crown. Topics: Discipleship Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS HERR

The Law Of God Is Good And Wise
Author: M. Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes;
Shows us the way of righteousness
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts,
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain,
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good, but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sins to die
And has no pow'r to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace thro' faith alone.

And owns Thy dreadful sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye
And save the soul condemned to die.

Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace;
I'll lead them to my Savior's blood,
And they shall praise a pard'ning God.

And all my pow'r shall join to bless
The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

O Christ, the Healer
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
To pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
When reached by love that never ends?
2 From ev'ry ailment flesh endures
Our bodies clamor to be freed;
Yet in our hearts we would confess
That wholeness is our deepest need.
3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
How weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
Unconscious pride resists or shelves.
4 In conflicts that destroy our health
We recognize the world's disease;
Our common life declares our ills:
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
5 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
In your community may find
The wholeness that, enriching us,
Shall reach the whole of humankind. Topics: Pastoral Care of the Sick Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS HERR

And distant islands join their voice.

But grace and truth support His throne;
Through gloomy clouds His ways surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.

Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs;
Before Him burns devouring fire;
The mountains melt, the seas retire.

Fly from the sight, and shun the day;
Then lift your heads, ye saints on high,
And sing for your redemption’s nigh. Used With Tune: SPIRES Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Lord Jesus Christ, With Us Abide
Author: H. Brueckner; N. Selnecker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,
For round us falls the eventide;
Let not Thy Word, that shining light,
Be veiled to us in error's night.
2 In these last days when ills abound,
O keep us in Thy doctrine sound,
That we Thy Word and Sacrament
May pure retain till life is spent.
3 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Church uphold,
For we are languid, slothful, cold;
O prosper well Thy Word of grace
And spread its truth in ev'ry place.
4 O keep us in Thy Word, we pray;
Turn Satan's guile and rage away;
Thy Church with grace and peace endue,
Make us united, patient, true.
5 Those haughty spirits, Lord, restrain,
Who o'er Thy Church presume to reign
And ever aim to say things new,
Devised to change Thy doctrine true.
6 Lord, keep us steadfast to the end,
That on Thy Word we may depend
Till we depart for yonder shore
And dwell with Thee for evermore.
