Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #335 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 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 mine 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, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O '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 every 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 heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, 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 the earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days: Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee

Author: Lyle Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #613 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, henceforth, 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: 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.
