Christ's Church Shall Glory in His Power
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:27 First Line: Christ's church shall glory in his pow'r Lyrics: 1 Christ’s church shall glory in his pow'r
And grow to his perfection;
He is our rock, our mighty tow'r
Our life, our resurrection:
So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.

Spirit of Jesus, if I love my neighbour
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:17-22 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of Jesus, if I love my neighbour
out of my knowledge, leisure, power or wealth,
help me to understand the shame and anger
of helplessness that hates my power to help.
2 And if, when I have answered need with kindness,
my neighbour rises, wakened from despair,
keep me from flinching when the cry for justice
requires of me the changes that I fear.
3 If I am hugging safety or possessions,
uncurl my spirit, as your love prevails,
to join my neighbours, work for liberation,
and find my freedom at the mark of nails. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Enlightening and Renewing the Church; Freedom and Liberation; Neighbour; Social Concern Used With Tune: MARK OF NAILS

Must Jesus bear the cross alone
Author: Allen Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,192 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:21 Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?

And there's a cross for me.

Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
3 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.
4 And palms shall wave, and harps shall ring,
Beneath heaven's arches high;
The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing,
That lives no more to die.
5 Oh, precious cross! oh, glorious crown!
Oh, resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars coming down,
And bear my soul away. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Bearing the Cross

"Take Up Thy Cross," the Savior Said
Author: C. W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:21 Lyrics: 1 “Take up thy cross,” the Savior said,
“If thou wouldst my disciple be,
take up thy cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.”
2 Take up thy cross, let not its weight
fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear thy spirit up,
and brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.
3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
and let thy foolish pride be still;
the Lord refused not e'en to die
upon a cross, on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up thy cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down,
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to win the glorious crown.
