Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,303 hymnals First Line: Jesus I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee, Naked, poor, 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 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior too; Human hearts and looks deceive me— Thou art not like them untrue; Oh! while Thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 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 thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy earthly days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Gently Lord, O Gently Lead Us

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Gently Lord, O gently lead us, Pilgrims in this vale of tears, Through the trials yet decreed us, Till our last great change appears. When temptation’s darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let Thy goodness never fail us, Lead us in Thy perfect way. 2. In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish, Suffer not our souls to fear; And, when mortal life is ended, Bid us in Thine arms to rest, Till, by angel bands attended, We awake among the blest.
