Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #512b (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Consecration 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 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 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? 4 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 soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: FALFIELD

When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render; For surely will his hand Lead her, with guidance tender, To heaven her fatherland. 3 Saints robed in white before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessèd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.
