'Take up thy cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest, 1814-77 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up
and brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
your Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Good Friday; Holy Week; Passion Sunday Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEINS LEBENS LICHT

Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and harken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings!

Make straight the way for God within,
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.

Our refuge and our great reward;
Without your grace we waste away
Like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
And make us rise to fall no more;
O, let your face upon us shine
And fill the world with love divine.
