Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Easter Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my All shalt be. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 2 Haste my soul 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, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: MANT (Autumn)

O søde Jesus, lær mig at Jeg Troen ret kan kjende, Den Tro, som har dig selv i Favn, Fra den, som har vel Troens Navn, Men er dog død og intet. 2 Lær mig at sætte al min Lid Paa Gud, min kjære Fader, Paa dig, som er saa mild og blid Mod dem, som Synden hader, Og paa den Helligaand, vor Skat, Ved dig bestandig Dag og Nat, Treenig Gud, at hænge! 3 Lad mig din Naades rette Art Og vise Orden kjende, At den i dig har ingen Part, Som vil sig ei omvende; Men, søde Jesus, vær og bliv Min Vei, min Sandhed og mit Liv Paa Troens rette Bane! 4 Lad mig ei tro, hvad Verden tror, Som Himlens Visdom vrager, Men lær mig, at jeg af dit Ord Den rette Mening tager, Og bliver klippefast derved Til Livets sidste Stund og Sted, Dit Ord og Navn til Ære! 5 For al Ting lad din Død og Blod Mig trøste allevegne, At jeg mig med et trøstigt Mod Din Værdskyld kan tilegne, At leve og at dø derpaa, Og agte hele Verden saa Ei værd engang at nævne! 6 Og naar min Tro den findes svag Blandt mange Stød og Hinder, Saa hjælp, at som den lyse Dag Den snart igjen oprinder, Pust op igjen den rygend' Brand, Og sæt det knuste Rør istand Ved Aandens Kraft og Glæde! 7 Hjælp, at jeg vaager Dag og Nat Mod Satans mange Snarer, Og ved din Naade Troens Skat Til sidste Stund bevarer, At findes ren og uden Stød, For Gud retsindig til min Død, Som det dig kan behage! 8 Bo selv ved Troen i min Aand, At Troen sterk kan blive, Alt mer og mer saa Overhaand, Og mange Frygter give, Og favne dig i sidste Nød! Saa bliver Troens ende sød, Og al min Jammer stilles. 9 O Jesus, du som Troens Gnist Min Sjæl har ladet kjende, Ak, lad den aldrig blive mist, Men hjælp den til at brænde1 Hvad du har selv begyndt, fuldfør, At jeg tilsidst i Troen dør, Og faar en salig Ende!
