"Come home"

Bearing the Cross

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Laudes Domini #366 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be! Perish, every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped or 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 Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me Thou art not, like them, untrue; Oh, while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show thy face, and all is bright 3 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! Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me; Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 4 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. Languages: English

Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee! Child of heaven, canst thou repine? 2 Haste thee 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, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Not all the nobles of the earth

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #368 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honours of their birth, Such real dignity can claim, As those who bear the Christian name. 2 To them the privilege is giv'n, To be the sons and heirs of heav'n; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joys beyond the sky. 3 His will he makes them early know, And teaches their young feet to go; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 4 Their daily wants his hands supply: Their steps he guards with watchful eye, Leads them from earth to heav'n above, And crowns them with eternal love. 5 If I've the honour, Lord! to be One of this num'rous family: On me the gracious gift bestow, To call thee Abba, Father, too. 6 So may my conduct ever prove My filial piety and love! Whilst all my brethren clearly trace Their Father's likeness on my face.
