"Take Up Thy Cross," the Saviour Said

Author: Charles W. Everest Hymnal: The Hymnbook #293 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: "Take up thy cross", the Saviour said Lyrics: 1 "Take up thy cross," the Saviour said, If thou wouldst My disciple be; Take up thy cross with willing heart 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 thine 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 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. Amen. Topics: Commitment; Cross, The; Discipleship; Humility; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Tune Title: BRESLAU

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Samuel Medley; Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #296 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride; for this we count the world but loss 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see, in shining letters, "God is love"; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup; 4 it makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for right; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light; 5 the balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heav'n above.

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #296 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear thy voice, And in thy fold with us rejoice. 2 And all who else have strayed from thee, O gently seek; thy healing be To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n; And let them also share thy heav'n. 3 O make the deaf to hear thy Word; And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 4 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall the wand'rers from thy fold; Unite those now who walk apart; Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 5 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore, And endless praise to thee be giv'n By all the church in earth and heav'n. Amen. Topics: Backsliding; Calling; Christ The Light; The Church The Kingdom of God; The Church Unity or Scripture: John 9:5 Tune Title: BRESLAU
