Lord, As to Thy Dear Cross We Flee

Author: John Hampden Gurney Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #170 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee, And plead to be forgiv'n, So let Thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heav'n. 2 Help us thro' good report or ill Our daily cross to bear, Like Thee to do our Father’s will, Our brother’s grief to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine, And kindness in our being dwell As free and true as Thine. 4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly, And grief’s dark day come on, We in our turn would meekly cry, "Father, Thy will be done." 5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame, Or brethren faithless prove, Then, like Thine own, be all our aim To conquer them by love. 6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, O may we lead the pilgrim’s life And follow Thee to heaven. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE (SMART)

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #339 (1917) Topics: Cross Bearing the 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 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 man, 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 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, Know, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. 4 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; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: DISCIPLE

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #118 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the cross. The sinner's hope let 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 fight; It takes the 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 the pangs His soul sustained! Shun, not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete; "It is finished," hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes: Saviour, teach us so to rise. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLING
