Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #262 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns 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.

Love divine, all loves excelling

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #263 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit Into every troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Come to us, dear Lord, and never, Never more Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #264 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light; Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One, the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread: One, the object of our journey, One, the faith which never tires, One, the earnest looking forward, One, the hope our God inspires. 3 One, the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One, the march in God begun: One, the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then, the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Hear what God the Lord hath spoken

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Church Book #581 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 Hear what God the Lord hath spoken: O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you. Thorns of heartfelt tribulation, Shall no more perplex your ways: You shall name your walls salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. 2 There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures without end shall flow; For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow. Still in undisturbed possession, Peace and righteousness shall reign: Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. 3 Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But, your griefs for ever ended, Find eternal noon in Me. God shall rise, and shining o'er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory, God your everlasting Light.

Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #449 (1913) Hymnal Title: The Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice, And with that hast freely given Blessings countless as the sand, To th'unthankful and the evil With Thine own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to yield Thee, Gladly, freely of Thine own; With the sunshine of Thy goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone; Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by Thee, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor hast Thou given To our humblest charity In Thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto Me." Can it be, O gracious Master, Thou dost deign for alms to sue, Saying, by Thy poor and needy, "Give as I have given to you?" 4 Lord of glory, who hast bought us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith, to trust Thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on Thee; But, O best of all Thy graces, Give us Thine own charity.
