"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said
Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 298 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:24 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 soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross; nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still;
your Lord refused not e'en to die
upon a cross, on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly sin's wild deluge brave;
'twill guide you to a better home,
it points to glory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross, and follow on,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only he who bears the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown.

New every morning is the love
Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 362 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove,
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray, --
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If, on our daily course, our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask, --
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love,
for perfect life with you above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; God in daily living; Prayer Used With Tune: TRURO

Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
4 O generous love! that he who smote
in Man, for man, the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;
4 And in the garden secretly,
and on the Cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
5 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

Ermahnung den Herrn Jesu nachzufolgen
Author: Dr. Johann Angelus Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:24-25 First Line: Mir nach! spricht Christus unser Held Lyrics: 1 Mir nach! spricht Christus unser Held,
mir nach, ihr Christen alle,
verläugnet euch, verlaßt die Welt,
folgt meinem Ruf und Schalle;
nehmt euer Creuz und Ungemach
auf euch, folgt meinem Wandel nach.
2 Ich bin das Licht, ich leucht euch für
mit heil'gem Tugend-Leben.
wer zu mir kömmt und folget mir
darf nicht im finstern schweben;
ich bin der Weg, ich weise wohl,
wie man wahrhaftig wandeln soll.
3 Mein Herz ist voll Demüthigkeit,
voll Liebe meine Seele:
mein Mund der fleußt zu jeder Zeit
von süßem Sanftmuths-Oele:
mein Geist, Gemüthe, Kraft und Sinn
ist Gott ergeben, schaut auf Ihn.
4 Ich zeig' euch das, was schädlich ist,
zu fliehen und zu meiden
und euer Herz von arger List
zu rein'gen und zu scheiden.
Ich bin der Seelen Fels und Hort
und führ' euch zu der Himmels-Pfort.
5 Fällt's euch zu schwer, ich geh' voran;
ich steh' euch an der Seite,
ich kämpfe selbst, ich brech' die Bahn,
bin Alles in dem Streite.
Ein böser Knecht, der still' darf stehn,
wenn er den Feldherrn sieht angehn.
6 Wer seine Seel zu finden meint,
wird sie ohn' mich verlieren:
wer sie hier zu verlieren scheint,
wird sie in Gott einführen.
Wer nicht sein Creuz nimmt und folgt mir,
ist mein nicht werth und meiner Zier.
7 So laßt uns denn dem lieben Herrn
mit Leib und Seel' nachgehen
und wohlgemuth, getrost und gern
bei Ihm im Leiden stehen:
denn wer nicht kämpft, trägt auch die Cron'
des ew'gen Lebens nicht davon. Topics: Gesänge vom Leben der Gläubigen; Songs from the Life of the Faithful

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 683 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 16:25 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
Amen. Topics: Christ Love of; Commitment; Funeral Services; Life Everlasting, The; Love and Communion; Life in Christ Love Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET
