Jesus, I my cross have taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #593 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christian Life Perseverance; Consecration; Forsaking the World; Life; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Sacrifice; Self-Denial 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. Scripture: Mark 10:29-30 Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFER
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Lord! what a wretched Land is this
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LIII (1766) Topics: Dangers of our earthly Pilgrimage; Earth and Heaven; Pilgrimage of the Saints; Christian Race; Society in Heaven blessed; Spiritual Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Lord! what a wretched Land is this,
That yields us no Supply;
No chearing Fruits, no wholesome Trees,
Nor Streams of living Joy.
2 But pricking Thorns through all the Ground,
And mortal Poisons grow,
And all the Rivers that are found,
With dang'rous Waters flow.
3 Yet the dear Path to thine Abode
Lies through this horrid Land,
Lord! we would keep the heav'nly Road,
And run at thy Command.
[4 Our Souls shall tread the Desart through
With undiverted Feet;
And Faith and flaming Zeal subdue
The Terrors that we meet.]
[5 A thousand savage Beasts of Prey
Around the Forest roam,
But Judah's Lion guards the Way,
And guides the Strangers Home.]
[6 Long Nights and Darkness dwell below,
With scarce a twinkling Ray;
But the bright World to which we go
Is everlasting Day.]
[7 By glimmering Hopes and gloomy Fears
We trace the sacred Road;
Thro' dismal Deeps and dang'rous Snares
We make our Way to God.]
8 Our Journey is a thorny Maze,
But we march upward still,
Forget these Troubles of the Ways,
And reach at Sion's Hill.
[9 See the kind Angels at the Gates,
Inviting us to come;
There Jesus the Fore-runner waits
To welcome Trav'lers Home.]
10 There on a green and flow'ry Mount
Our weary Souls shall sit,
And with transporting Joys recount
The Labours of our Feet.
[11 No vain Discourse shall fill our Tongue,
Nor Trifles vex our Ear,
Infinite Grace shall be our Song,
And God rejoice to hear.]
12 Eternal Glories to the King
That brought us safely through;
Our Tongue shall never cease to sing,
And endless Praise renew. Languages: English
Lord! what a wretched Land is this
Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide
Author: Marcus M. Wells, 1815-1895 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #94 (1957) Topics: Pilgrimage, Christian Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, faithful Guide,
Ever near the Christian’s side;
Gently lead us by the hand,
Pilgrims in a desert land;
Weary souls fore’er rejoice,
While they hear that sweetest voice
Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
2 Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near Thine aid to lend,
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear;
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er.
Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
3 When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heav'n and prayer,
Wond'ring if our names were there;
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood,
Whisp'ring softly, “Wand'rer, come!
Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: FAITHFUL GUIDE

Children of the heav'nly King
Author: John Cennick Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #499 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Christian Life Pilgrimage and Guidance Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav'nly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 We are trav'ling home to God
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Shout, ye little flock and blest;
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Lift your eyes, ye sons of light,
Zion's city is in sight;
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.
5 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
6 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 35:10 Languages: English Tune Title: PLEYEL'S HYMN

Come, thou fount of every blessing
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #452 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace,
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above:
Praise the mount--O fix me on it,
Mount of God's unchanging love.
2 Here I find my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I've come:
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home:
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interpos'd his precious blood.
3 O! to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrain'd to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee!
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love--
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it from thy courts above.
Come, thou fount of every blessing

tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of God's unchanging love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring from the fold of God:
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be;
let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wand'ring heart to thee.
Prone to wander – Lord, I feel it –
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
