Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,346 hymnals Topics: Trinity 5 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee. Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too. Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me-- Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 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. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n 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. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in ev'ry station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close the earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: ROSENMÜLLER

"Come, Follow Me," the Savior Spake

Author: J. Scheffler, 1624-77 ; C. W. Schaeffer, 1813-96 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Trinity 5 First Line: "Come follow Me," the Savior spake Lyrics: 1 "Come, follow Me," the Savior spake, "All in My way abiding; Deny yourselves, the world forsake, Obey My call and guiding. Oh, bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take my example for your guide. 2 "I am the Light; I light the way, A godly life displaying; I bid you walk as in the day; I keep your feet from straying. I am the Way, and well I show How you must sojourn here below. 3 "I teach you how to shun and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart from ev'ry guile to free, From sin and its temptation. I am the Refuge of the soul And lead you to your heav'nly goal. 4 "Thus when you find most hot the fray, I at your side stand ready; The fight is Mine, I lead the way, At all times firm and steady. A soldier false who will not heed when Christ the Captain takes the lead! 5 "Who seeks to save on earth his life Without Me, he shall lose it; But who for Me in earthly strife Now loses it shall find it; Who counts the cross for Me too hard Who counts not of Me, the Lord." 6 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suff'ring be undaunted. For all who bear the battle's strain The crown of life they shall obtain. Used With Tune: MACH'S MIT MIR, GOTT
