Bearing the Cross
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Laudes Domini #534 (1888) Scripture: Matthew 16:24 First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow thee;
Naked, poor, 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 Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me--
Thou art not, like them, untrue;
Oh, while thou dost smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends disown me,
Show thy fact, 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;
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.
4 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service, pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called thee--Abba, Father!
I have stayed my heart on thee!
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me. Topics: Abba, Father; Ashamed of Jesus; Church Ordinances of; Church Uniting with; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Consecration Of Self; Covenant Christian; Cross of Christ Taking; Cross of Christ Glorying in Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE
Bearing the Cross
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #329 (1995) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Scripture: Matthew 16:24-26 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand;
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye by faith can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
3 The shadow of your cross, Lord,
be my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine
than the sunshine of your face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, your cross. Topics: Lent; Christian year--Lent; Humility Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Broad is the road that leads to death
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #818 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.
2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross,
Is the Redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain this heavenly land.
3 The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the way of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.
4 Lord! let not all my hopes be vain;
Create my heart entirely new,--
Which hypocrites could ne'er attain;
Which false apostates never knew. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings ; The Broad Way to Death

Be Still, My Soul
Author: Catharina A. D. von Schlegel; Jane Laurie Borthwick Hymnal: Voices Together #664 (2020) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Scripture: Matthew 16:24-28 First Line: Be still, my soul! for God is on your side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul! for God is on your side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain:
leave to your God to order and provide,
who through all changes faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul! your best, your heav’nly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul! for God will undertake
to guide the future surely as the past.
Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know
the voice that calmed their fury long ago.
3 Be still, my soul! the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever in God's peace;
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
love’s joys restored, our strivings all shall cease.
Be still my soul! when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Patience; Comfort; Discipleship; Funeral / Memorial Service; God Faithfulness of; God Power of; Joy; Patience; Protection; Suffering Tune Title: FINLANDIA

By All Your Saints Still Striving
Author: Horatio Bolton Nelson Hymnal: Glory to God #325 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20 Lyrics: 1 By all your saints still striving,
for all your saints at rest,
your holy name, O Jesus,
forevermore be blessed!
For those passed on before us,
we sing our praise anew
and, walking in their footsteps,
would live our lives for you.
2 We praise you for the Baptist,
forerunner of the Word,
our true Elijah, making
a highway for the Lord.
The last and greatest prophet,
he saw the dawning ray
of light that grows in splendor
until the perfect day.
3 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew,
the first to welcome you,
whose witness to his brother
named you Messiah true.
May we, with hearts kept open
to you throughout the year
proclaim to friend and neighbor
your advent ever near.
4 For Magdalene we praise you,
steadfast at cross and tomb.
Your “Mary!” in the garden
dispelled her tears and gloom.
Apostle to the apostles,
she ran to spread the word.
Send us to shout the good news
that we have seen the Lord!
5 We pray for saints we know not,
for saints still yet to be,
for grace to bear true witness
and serve you faithfully,
till all the ransomed number
who stand before the throne
ascribe all power and glory
and praise to God alone. Topics: The Church; Evangelism; Praise; Sending Languages: English Tune Title: KING’S LYNN

Built on a Rock
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Doving Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #82 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 16:15-18 First Line: Built on a rock the church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on a rock the church doth stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land,
Bells still are chiming and calling;
Calling the young and old to rest,
Calling the souls of men distressed,
Longing for life everlasting.
2 Not in our temples made with hands
God, the Almighty, is dwelling;
High in the heavens His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet He who dwells in heaven above
Deigns to abide with us in love,
Making our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Built for His own habitation;
He fills our hearts, His humble thrones,
Granting us life and salvation;
Were two or three to seek His face,
He in their midst would show His grace,
Blessings upon them bestowing.
4 Yet in this house, an earthly frame,
Jesus the children is blessing;
Hither we come to praise His Name,
Faith in our Savior confessing;
Jesus to us His Spirit sent,
Making with us His covenant,
Granting His children the kingdom. Topics: Church; Holy Spirit; Jesus Rock Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN

calling the souls of men distressed,

2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the Most High is not dwelling;
high in the heav'ns his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heav'n above
deigns to abide with us in love,
making our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,

granting us life and salvation.
Were two or three to seek his face,

4 Yet in this house, an earthly frame,
Jesus his children is blessing;
higher we come to praise his name,
faith in our Savior confessing.
Jesus to us his Spirit sent,
making with us his covenant,
granting his children the kingdom.
5 Now we may gather with our King
e'en in the lowliest dwelling;
praises to him we there may bring,
his wondrous mercy forth-telling.
Jesus his grace to us accords,
spirit and life are all his words;
his truth doth hallow the temple. Topics: The Church The Church of Christ; Calling; Christ Words of; Church Children of Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN DEN ER ET
