Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said
Author: Charles William Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 298 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Lyrics: 1 Take up your cross, the Savior said,
If you would My disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after Me.
2 Take up your cross, let not its weight
Fill your weak spirit with alarm;
Christ's strength shall bear your spirit up
And brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
And let your foolish heart be still;
Thy Lord for you accepted death
Upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in Christ's strength,
And calmly every danger brave:
It guides you to abundant life
And leads to victory o'er the grave.

Author: Civilla D. Martin, 1863-1948 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 99 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:29 First Line: Why should I feel discouraged Lyrics: 1 Why should I feel discouraged,
why should the shadows come,
why should my heart be lonely
and long for heav'n and home,
when Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is he:
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
2 "Let not your heart be troubled,"
his tender word I hear,
and resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubt and fear;
tho' by the path he leadeth,
but one step I may see:
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
3 Whenever I am tempted,
whenever clouds arise,
when songs give place to sighing,
when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to him,
from care he sets me free;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he cares for me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he cares for me.

who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight;
thou in the darkness drear, their one true light.

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine.
Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.

steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
and hearts are brave again and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 From earth's wide bounds and ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl stream in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqu'ror be;
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure -
it varies with the wind;
it cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My pow'r is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it wants the needed fire to glow,
it wants the breeze to nerve;
it cannot drive the world
until itself be driv'n;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heav'n.
4 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent,
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom I have leaned,
and found in thee its life.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone
Author: Allen Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,204 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:25 Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 This consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
3 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.
4 And palms shall wave, and harps shall ring,
Beneath heaven's arches high;
The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing,
That lives no more to die.
5 Oh, precious cross! oh, glorious crown!
Oh, resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars coming down,
And bear my soul away. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Bearing the Cross

Leave It There
Author: C. Albert Tindley Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:29-31 First Line: If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold Refrain First Line: Leave it there, leave it there Lyrics: 1 If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird--
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Chorus:
Leave it there, (Leave it there,) Leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
2 If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, he can save and he can heal–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
3 When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely thro'–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
4 When your youthful days are done, and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care,
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
