Jesus, I my cross have taken

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Doubt and Fear 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 every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials sore may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service pain is pleasure; With Thy favor loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every 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 heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: WORLD, FAREWELL! OF THE I'M WEARY

My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim: With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning; Thou comest to set me free! I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou comest to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me, As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me. Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; In pity He is near you, And bids you weep no more. 6 Ye who, with guilty terror, Are trembling, fear no more; With love and grace the Saviour Shall you to hope restore. He comes to heal the spirit That mourneth, sin-oppressed, He comes, that we inherit Eternal joy and rest. 7 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing: O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering And guide us safely home!
