"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said

Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 294 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior 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 soul with vain 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 e'en to die upon a cross, on Calv'ry's hill. 4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength, and calmly sin's wild deluge brave; 'twill guide you to a better home, it points to glory o'er the grave. 5 Take up your cross, and follow on, nor think till death to lay it down; for only he who bears the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown.

New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 360 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove, through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray, -- new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If, on our daily course, our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice. 4 The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we ought to ask, -- room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God. 5 Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love, for perfect life with you above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.
