Take Up Thy Cross
Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: Gems and Jewels First Line: Today, tomorrow, evermore Lyrics: 1 Today, tomorrow, evermore,
Through cheerless nights without a star,
Not asking wither or how far,
Rejoicing though the way be sore.
Refrain:
Take up thy cross,
And follow me,
Take up thy cross,
And follow me.
2 Though some there be who scorn thy choice,
And tempting voices bid thee stay,
Today while it is called today,
If thou wilt hearken to my voice, [Refrain]
3 I promise only perfect peace,
Sweet peace that lives through years of strife,
Immortal hope, immortal life,
And rest when all these wanderings cease: [Refrain]
4 My yoke is easy; put it on!
My burden very light to bear;
Who shareth this My crown, shall share
On earth the cross, in heaven the crown: [Refrain]

Fred A. Fillmore
1856 - 1925 Hymnal Title: Gems and Jewels Composer of "[Today, tomorrow, evermore]" in Gems and Jewels Born: May 15, 1856, Paris, Illinois.
Died: November 15, 1925, Terrace Park, Ohio.
Buried: Milford, Ohio.
Frederick Augustus Fillmore, who was born on May 15, 1856, in Paris, IL, one of seven children, five sons and two daughters, born to Augustus Damon and Hannah Lockwood Fillmore. His father was a preacher in the Christian Church, as well as a composer,
songbook compiler, and hymn publisher who developed his own system of musical notation using numbers on the staff in place of note heads. Augustus eventually settled in Cincinnati, OH, and established a music publishing business there. Until 1906, there was no official distinction between "Christian Churches" and "Churches of Christ." The names were used pretty much interchangeably, and many older churches of Christ which are faithful today were once known as "Christian Churches."
Fred and his older brother James took over their father's publishing business following the death of Augustus in 1870 and established the Fillmore Brothers Music House. This became a successful Cincinnati music form, publishing church hymnals and later band and orchestral music. For many years the firm issued a monthly periodical, The Music Messenger. The brothers edited many hymnbooks and produced many songs which became popular. Beginning with the songbook Songs of Glory in 1874, there appeared many Fillmore publications which became widely used through churches, especially in the midwest. For these collections, Fred provided a great deal of hymn tunes.
