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

Author: Lyle Appears in 1,301 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:28-30 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.

Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 919 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:17-31 Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea, day by day his voice is sounding, saying, 'Christian, follow me'. 2 As, of old, Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, 'Christian, love me more'. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By your mercy, Saviour, make us hear your call, give our hearts to your obedience, serve and love you best of all.

Hymn 23 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:21 First Line: Must all the charms of nature, then Lyrics: Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new. But mark the change; thus spake the Lord- "Come, part with earth for heav'n today:" The youth, astonished at the word, In silent sadness went his way. Poor virtues that he boasted so, This test unable to endure; Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! Ah, foolish choice of treasures here! Ah, fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me: Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee.

Rejoice in God's Saints

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:21 First Line: Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days; a world without saints forgets how to praise. Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer, their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share. 2 Some march with events to turn them God's way; some need to withdraw, the better to pray; some carry the gospel through fire and through flood: our world is their parish; their purpose is God. 3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown, who bear someone's cross or shoulder their own; they shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares: what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs! 4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days; a world without saints forgets how to praise. In loving, in living, they prove it is true: the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you. Used With Tune: HANOVER
