Author: Charles W. Everest; Frank Mason North Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal Music Supplement #142 (1991) Lyrics: A:
4 Take up thy cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown.
B:
6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY
