Chorus: Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen, and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through. 2 Shun evil companions, Bad language disdain, God’s name hold in rev’rence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kind-hearted and true, Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. [Chorus] 3 To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown; Through faith we will conquer, Though often cast down; He who is our Savior, Our strength will renew; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Yield not to temptation]

Help me to labor earnestly, And daily pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Father, to-day. 2 Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips Through all to-day. Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay: Let me be faithful to Thy grace, Dear Lord, to-day. 3 And if to-day this life of mine, Should ebb away, Give me Thy Sacrament Divine, Father, to-day. So for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray: Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Through each to-day. Used With Tune: [Lord, for to-morrow and its needs]

By earth and heav'n confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name, For ever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise, and seek the joys At his right hand: I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and pow'r; And him my only portion make, My Shield and Tower. 3 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend; I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, To heav'n ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his pow'r adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore. 4 The goodly land I see, With peace and plenty blest, A land of sacred liberty And endless rest; There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound, And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crowned. 5 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness; Triumphant over the world and sin, The Prince of Peace On Zion's sacred height His kingdom still maintains, And glorious with his saints in light For ever reigns. 6 The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; "Hail Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Amen. Scripture: Jeremiah 33:16 Used With Tune: LEONI

Thou say'st, Take up thy cross

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Sundays after Trinity Divine Guidance Lyrics: Thou say'st, "Take up thy cross, O man, and follow me"; The night is black, the feet are slack, Yet we would follow thee. But, O dear Lord, we cry, That we thy face could see, Thy blessèd face one moment's space, Then might we follow thee! Dim tracts of time divide Those golden days from me; Thy voice comes strange o'er years of change; How can I follow thee? Comes faint and far thy voice From vales of Galilee; Thy vision fades in ancient shades; How should we follow thee? O heavy cross: of faith In what we cannot see! As once of yore thyself restore, And help to follow thee. If not as once thou cam'st In true humanity, Come yet as guest within the breast That burns to follow thee. Within our heart of hearts In nearest nearness be: Set up thy throne within thine own: Go, Lord; we follow thee. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
