"Take up thy cross," the Saviour said

Author: Charles W. Everest Appears in 304 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 "Take up thy cross," the Saviour said, "If thou wouldst my disciple be; Deny thyself, the world forsake, And humbly follow after me." 2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight Fill thy weak spirit with alarm; His strength shall bear thy spirit up, And brace thy heart and nerve thy arm. 3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame; Nor let thy foolish pride rebel; Thy Lord for thee the cross endured, To save thy soul from death and hell. 4 Take up thy cross, then, in his strength, And calmly every danger brave; 'Twill guide thee to a better home, And lead to victory o'er the grave. 5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ; Nor think till death to lay it down; For only he who bears the cross May hope to wear the glorious crown.

O that my load of sin were gone!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 O that my load of sin were gone! O that I could at last submit At Jesus' feet to lay it down To lay my all at Jesus' feet! 2 Rest for my soul I long to find; Saviour of all, if mine thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free; I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in thee. 4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God; Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross all stained with hallowed blood, The labor of thy dying love. 5 I would, but thou must give the power; My heart from every sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with thy perfect peace.

"Come to Me," said One, "and Be at rest." 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my Guide? "In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side." 3 Hath He diadem, as Monarch, That His brow adorns? "Yes, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns." 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labour, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labour ended, Jordan past." 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, "Yes." Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

Why should we boast of time to come

Author: M. Wilkes Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Why should we boast of time to come, Though but a single day? This hour may fix our final doom, Though strong, and young, and gay. 2 The present we should now redeem; This only is our own; The past, alas! is all a dream; The future is unknown. 3 O think what vast concerns depend Upon a moment's space, When life and all its cares shall end In vengeance or in grace. 4 O for that power which melts the heart, And lifts the soul on high! Where sin and grief and death depart, And pleasures never die. Used With Tune: HARVEY'S CHANT
