Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #593 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest: O 'tis not in grief to harm me While thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in ev'ry station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.
