Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank. M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the true compassion of your face.
4 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again
5 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said
Author: Charles William Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 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;
Christ's 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;
Thy Lord for you accepted death
Upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in Christ's strength,
And calmly every danger brave:
It guides you to abundant life
And leads to victory o'er the grave.

when hope within me dies,

from care he sets me free;

and I know he cares for me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he cares for me.

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqu'ror 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 pow'r is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it wants the needed fire to glow,
it wants the breeze to nerve;
it cannot drive the world
until itself be driv'n;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heav'n.
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 I have leaned,
and found in thee its life.

Son of God, Eternal Savior
Author: Somerset Corry Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:8 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior,
source of life and truth and grace,
woman's Son, whose birth amongst us
hallows all our human race:
thou, our Head, who throned in glory
for thine own dost ever plead,
fill us with thy love and pity,
heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
so may we for others live;
freely have thy gifts been granted,
freely may Thy servants give.
Thine the gold and thine the silver,
thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of Thy bounty
held in solemn trust for thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign above us,
King of Love, and Prince of Peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease;
by thy patient years of toiling,
by thy silent hours of pain,
quench our fever'd thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed of gain.
4 Son of God, eternal Savior,
source of life and truth and grace,
woman's Son whose birth among us
hallows all our human race,
thou who prayedst, thou who willest,
that thy people should be one,
grant, O grant our hope’s fruition;
here on earth thy will be done.

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, 1934- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.

"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community:
With the Spirit's gifts empower

"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.

a follower of the Lamb,
and shall I fear to own his cause,
or blush to speak his name?

on flowery beds of ease,
while others fought to win the prize,
and sailed through bloody seas?

Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
to help me on to God?

Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.

At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.

Beneath heaven's arches high;
The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing,
That lives no more to die.
5 Oh, precious cross! oh, glorious crown!
Oh, resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars coming down,
And bear my soul away. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Bearing the Cross

He Who Would Valiant Be
Author: John Bunyan Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 151 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 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 Who so 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.

And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird--
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there, (Leave it there,) Leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
2 If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, he can save and he can heal–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
3 When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely thro'–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
4 When your youthful days are done, and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care,
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)

Bearing the Cross
Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,304 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:32 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 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE

The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 837 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears His cross below,
He follows in His train.
2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame:
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their turn?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train!
Amen. Topics: Warfare, Christian; Warfare, Christian Used With Tune: [The Son of God goes forth to war]
