Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said
Author: Charles William Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 298 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:27 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.

Hymn 13
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 266 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:17 First Line: How sweet and aweful is the place Lyrics:
How sweet and aweful is the place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores!
Here every bowel of our God
With soft compassion rolls;
Here peace and pardon bought with blood
Is food for dying souls.
[While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry with thankful tongues,
"Lord, why was I a guest?
"Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there's room;
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come?"]
'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly forced us in
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
[Pity the nations, O our God!
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
We long to see thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May with one voice, and heart, and soul,
Sing thy redeeming grace.]

Hymn 12
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:16 First Line: How rich are thy provisions, Lord! Lyrics:
[How rich are thy provisions, Lord!
Thy table furnished from above!
The fruits of life o'erspread the board,
The cup o'erflows with heav'nly love.
Thine ancient family, the Jews,
Were first invited to the feast:
We humbly take what they refuse,
And Gentiles thy salvation taste.
We are the poor, the blind, the lame,
And help was far, and death was nigh;
But at the gospel-call we came,
And every want received supply.
From the highway that leads to hell,
From paths of darkness and despair,
Lord, we are come with thee to dwell,
Glad to enjoy thy presence here.]
[What shall we pay th' eternal Son,
That left the heav'n of his abode,
And to this wretched earth came down,
To bring us wand'rers back to God?
It cost him death to save our lives;
To buy our souls it cost his own;
And all the unknown joys he gives
Were bought with agonies unknown.
Our everlasting love is due
To him that ransomed sinners lost
And pitied rebels, when he knew
The vast expense his love would cost.]
Hymn 12
An invitation to the gospel feast
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 327 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:22 First Line: Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast!
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store,
For every humble guest.
2 See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, he bids you come;
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room—
3 Room in the Savior's bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart,
That trembles at his feet.
4 In him the father reconcil'd
Invite, your souls to come;
The rebel shall be call'd a child,
And kindly welcom'd home.
5 O come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love;
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.
6 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th' eternal throne,
Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice,
In ecstasies unknown.
7 And yet ten thousand thousand more,
Are welcome still to come:
Ye longing souls, the grace adore,
Approach there yet is room.

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode (1816-1874) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 628 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:27-33 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and always near me,
my master and my friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
not wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 Oh, let me feel you near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me, and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 Oh, let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
true guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you,
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be too;
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end:
now give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Confirmation; Conflict; Discipleship Used With Tune: THORNBURY

As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:24 Lyrics: 1
As we gather at your table, as we listen to your
Word,
help us know, O God, your presence; let our hearts
and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our
own;
teach us through this holy banquet how to make
Love’s victory known.
2
Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of
life;
send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace
where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as
you forgave;
may we still behold your image in the world you died
to save.
3
Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to
share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome those who had
been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our
peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels to repeat the
sounding joy.

Yet there is Room
Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:22 First Line: Ye dying Sons of Men Lyrics: 1 Ye dying Sons of Men,
Immerg'd in Sin and Woe,
The Gospel's Voice attend,
Which JESUS sends to you:
Ye perishing and Guilty, come,
In JESUS' Arms there yet is Room.
2 No longer now delay,
Nor vain Excuses frame:
He bids you come To-Day,
Tho' Poor, and Blind, and Lame:
All Things are ready, Sinner come,
For every trembling Soul there's Room.
3 Believe the heav'nly Word
His Messengers proclaim;
He is a gracious LORD,
And faithful is his Name:
Backsliding souls, return and come,
Cast off Despair, there yet is Room.
4 Compell'd by bleeding Love,
Ye wand'ring Sheep draw near,
CHRIST calls you from above,
His Charming Accents hear!
Let whosoever will, now come:
In Mercy's Breast there still is Room.
