"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said

Author: Charles W. Everest Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #357 (1974) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 soul with vain alarm; His strength shall bear your spirit up, And brace your heart and nerve your arm. 3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame, And let your foolish pride be still; Your Lord refused not e'en to die Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill. 4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength, And calmly every danger brave; 'Twill guide you to a better home, And lead to vict'ry o'er the grave. 5 Take up your 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.
