Take up your cross, the Savior said

Author: Charles William Everest, 1814-1877 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 301 hymnals 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 sprit with alarm; his 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; the Lord for you accepted death upon a cross, on Calvary's hill. 4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength, and calmly every danger brave: it guides you to abundant life and leads to victory o'er the grave. 5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down; for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown.

O LORD, O Judge of All the Earth

Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, O Judge of all the earth, to Whom all vengeance does belong, Arise, and shine Your glory forth, pay back the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O LORD, shall wicked ones in boasting pride triumphant be? How long shall they afflict Your own and say, "The LORD God does not see?" 3 You senseless fools, take heed and fear; shall He not see, who formed the eye? Shall He not hear, who formed the ear, and judge not, who is Judge on high? 4 O LORD, how richly bless'd are all You tame, and train, and teach your law! For in the day that sinners fall, Your people live forevermore. 5 Unless the LORD had helped again, in silent death my home would be; My foot began to slip, but then Your love, O LORD, supported me. 6 So who will rise against their crimes, and stand to face the evil day? Can those whose pow'r corrupts our ties pretend that God will not repay? 7 The wicked bend their evil pow'r to bring the just to misery; But God the LORD shall be my tower, my Refuge and my Rock is He.

The LORD, My Savior, Is My Light

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The LORD, my Savior, is my light; what terrors can my soul affright? While GOD my strength, my life is near, what potent arm shall make me fear? 2 The greatest joy my heart desires, and for which all my soul aspires, is in GOD's house to spend my days, my life devoted to His praise. 3 This do I seek with ceaseless prayer; and GOD attends my earnest prayer; here may my soul His beauties trace, and know the wonders of His grace. 4 When troubles rise, my guardian GOD will hide me safe in His abode! Firm as a rock my hope shall stand, sustained by His almighty hand. 5 Should every earthly friend depart, or should I lose my parents' heart, then GOD on whom my hopes depend will still be Father, Guide, and Friend.

Jonah's Lament

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: As once for Jonah, so for me Lyrics: 1. As once for Jonah, so for me, To soothe and cheer my mournful hours, Prepared for me a leafy tree; Cool was its shade, and sweet its flow'rs. 2. To prize his gift was surely right, But through the folly of my heart, It hid the Giver from my sight, And soon my joy was changed to smart. 3. While I admired its beauteous form, Its pleasant shade, and grateful fruit, The Lord, displeased, sent forth a worm, Unseen, to prey upon the root. 4. Though trembling when I saw it fade, Restrained my tongue from bursting free; My folly I confessed, and prayed, Forgive my sin and spare my tree. 5. His wondrous love can ne’er be told; He heard me and relieved my pain, Yet no more did those leaves unfold, Nor did the tree revive again. 6. Now, Lord, the tree is mine no more, ’Tis thine, who only could it raise; The idol of my heart no more, Henceforth shall give way to thy praise.

'Tis in Thy Name that now we meet, and Thou art with us, gracious Lord. 4 We have one hope that Thou wilt come, Thee in the air we wait to see, when Thou wilt give Thy saints a home, and we shall ever reign with Thee.
