Take Up Thy Cross
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said, If thou wouldst my disciple be; Deny thyself, the world forsake, And humbly follow after me.
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.
Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, Nor let thy foolish pride rebel; The Lord for thee the Cross endured, To save thy soul from death and hell.
Take up thy cross then in his strength, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And calmly every danger brave; 'Twill guide thee to a better home, And lead to victory o'er the grave.
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.
To thee, great Lord, the One in Three, All praise for evermore ascend; O grant us in our home to see The heavenly life that knows no end.
