Make me a captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #534 (2005) Scripture: Matthew 16:25 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My power is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it lacks the needed fire to glow,
it lacks the breeze to nerve;
it cannot drive the world,
until itself be driven;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heaven.
4 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent,
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant
and found in thee its life. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER

Mir nach! spricht Christus, unser Held
Ermahnung den Herrn Jesu nachzufolgen
Author: Dr. Johann Angelus Hymnal: Evangelisch-Lutherisches Gesang-Buch #421 (1848) First Line: Mir nach! spricht Christus unser Held Scripture: Matthew 16:24-25 Lyrics: 1 Mir nach! spricht Christus unser Held,
mir nach, ihr Christen alle,
verläugnet euch, verlaßt die Welt,
folgt meinem Ruf und Schalle;
nehmt euer Creuz und Ungemach
auf euch, folgt meinem Wandel nach.
2 Ich bin das Licht, ich leucht euch für
mit heil'gem Tugend-Leben.
wer zu mir kömmt und folget mir
darf nicht im finstern schweben;
ich bin der Weg, ich weise wohl,
wie man wahrhaftig wandeln soll.
3 Mein Herz ist voll Demüthigkeit,
voll Liebe meine Seele:
mein Mund der fleußt zu jeder Zeit
von süßem Sanftmuths-Oele:
mein Geist, Gemüthe, Kraft und Sinn
ist Gott ergeben, schaut auf Ihn.
4 Ich zeig' euch das, was schädlich ist,
zu fliehen und zu meiden
und euer Herz von arger List
zu rein'gen und zu scheiden.
Ich bin der Seelen Fels und Hort
und führ' euch zu der Himmels-Pfort.
5 Fällt's euch zu schwer, ich geh' voran;
ich steh' euch an der Seite,
ich kämpfe selbst, ich brech' die Bahn,
bin Alles in dem Streite.
Ein böser Knecht, der still' darf stehn,
wenn er den Feldherrn sieht angehn.
6 Wer seine Seel zu finden meint,
wird sie ohn' mich verlieren:
wer sie hier zu verlieren scheint,
wird sie in Gott einführen.
Wer nicht sein Creuz nimmt und folgt mir,
ist mein nicht werth und meiner Zier.
7 So laßt uns denn dem lieben Herrn
mit Leib und Seel' nachgehen
und wohlgemuth, getrost und gern
bei Ihm im Leiden stehen:
denn wer nicht kämpft, trägt auch die Cron'
des ew'gen Lebens nicht davon. Topics: Gesänge vom Leben der Gläubigen; Songs from the Life of the Faithful Languages: German

Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?
Author: Thomas Shepherd; Unknown; G. N. A.; Henry W. Beecher Hymnal: Timeless Truths #309 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Must Jesus bear the cross alone Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for everyone,
And there’s a cross for me.
2 How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorr’wing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
3 The 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.
4 Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus’ pierced feet,
Joyful I’ll cast my golden crown
And His dear Name repeat.
5 O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from heav’n comes down
And bears my soul away. Tune Title: MAITLAND
