The Crowning Day ‎#8

8. Take Up Thy Cross To-day

1 “Take up thy cross and follow Me,”
O hear the blessed Saviour say;
If thou wouldst His disciple be,
Take up thy cross today.

Refrain:
Take up thy cross today,
Take up thy cross today;
O hear thy Lord, and trust His word;
Take up thy cross today.

2 Let not the world thy soul destroy,
When Jesus shows the better way;
O now believe Him, and with joy
Take up thy cross today. [Refrain]

3 Behold th’accepted time is now;
O flee the danger of delay;
Eternal life is thine if thou
Take up thy cross today. [Refrain]
