Never in a costly palace did I rest on golden bed
Author: Dr. Henry van Dyke, 1852- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #397 (1917) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Never in a costly palace did I rest on golden bed,
Never in a hermit's cavern have I eaten idle bread.
Born within a lowly stable, where the cattle round Me stood,
Trained a carpenter in Naz'reth, I have toiled and found it good.
2 They who tread the path of labour follow where My feet have trod;
They who work without complaining, do the holy will of God;
Nevermore thou needest seek Me; I am with thee everywhere;
Raise the stone, and thou shalt find Me, cleave the wood and I am there.
3 Where the many toil together, there am I among My own;
Where the tired workman sleepeth, there am I with him alone.
I, the peace that passeth knowledge, dwell amid the daily strife;
I, the Bread of heav'n, am broken in the sacrament of life.
4 Every task, however simple, sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and mercy, done to man, is done to Me.
Nevermore thou needest seek Me; I am with thee everywhere;
Raise the stone, and thou shalt find Me, cleave the wood and I am there. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER

Jesus, I my cross have taken
Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #408 (1913) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and 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 Savior, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue;
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face and all is bright.
3 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.
4 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.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me,
O 'twere not in joy to charm me
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation;
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station,
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Savior died to win thee;
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Tune Title: [Jesus, I my cross have taken]

We Turn to Christ Anew
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #425 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 We turn to Christ anew
who hear his call today,
his way to walk, his will pursue,
his word obey.
To serve him as our king
and of his kingdom learn,
from sin and ev'ry evil thing
to hm we turn.
2 We trust in Christ to save;
in him new life begins:
who by his cross a ransom gave
from all our sins.
Our spirit's strength and stay
who when all flesh is dust
will keep us in that final day,
in him we trust.
3 We would be true to him
till earthly journeys end,
whose love no passing years can dim,
our changeless friend.
May we who bear his name
our faith and love renew,
to follow Christ our single aim,
and find him true.

As through life we glide;
Faithfully in our behavior
May we follow Thee, dear Saviour:
Lead us by Thy hand
Through to Fatherland.

Let us to Thee hold;
When the cup of sorrow draining,
May we do so uncomplaining;
For through trials we
Find our way to Thee.

Anguishes the heart--
Though our life be woe and weakness,
Help us bear our cross in meekness;
May we keep in mind,
God's a Father kind.

Lord! through all our days;
Though our path be dark and cheerless,
Jesus with us, we'll be fearless;
Open, when life's o'er,
Lord! to us Thy door! Languages: English

Jesus, I my cross have taken
O Thou, to whose all-searching sight
Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Count N. L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #438 (1917) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 O Thou, to whose all-searching sight
The darkness shineth as the light,
Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee;
O burst these bonds, and set it free!
2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross,
Nail my affections to the cross;
Hallow each thought; let all within
Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean!
3 If in this darksome wild I stray,
Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way;
No foes, no violence I fear,
No fraud, while Thou, my God, art near.
4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
Jesus, Thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head, and cheer my heart.
5 Saviour, where'er Thy steps I see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee;
O let Thy hand support me still,
And lead me to Thy holy hill!
6 If rough and thorny be the way,
My strength proportion to my day;
Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease,
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace. Languages: English Tune Title: OMBERSLEY

Thy will in all things may I see;
In love be every wish resigned,
And hallowed my whole heart to Thee.

With lamb-like patience arm my breast;
When grief my wounded soul assails,
In lowly meekness may I rest.
4 Close by Thy side still may I keep,
Howe'er life's various current flow;
With steadfast eye mark every step,
And follow Thee where'er Thou go.
5 Thou, Lord, the dreadful fight hast won;
Alone Thou hast the winepress trod;
In me Thy strengthening grace be shown;
O may I conquer through Thy blood!
6 So, when on Zion Thou shalt stand,
And all heaven's host adore their King,
Shall I be found at Thy right hand,
And free from pain Thy glories sing. Languages: English Tune Title: MASON
