Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,304 hymnals 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 ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me;
They have left my Savior, too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me--
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
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 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me,
Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in ev'ry station,
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Savior died to win thee;
Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine?
6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close the earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Love divine, all loves excelling
Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,863 hymnals 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. Topics: Christ Love of; Holiness; Serving Christ Used With Tune: WORLD, FAREWELL! OF THE I'M WEARY
Love divine, all loves excelling
Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson Appears in 65 hymnals 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. Topics: The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Benevolence Used With Tune: [Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us]
Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us
Through the day Thy love has spared us
Author: T. Kelly Appears in 254 hymnals Used With Tune: [Through the day Thy love has spared us]
Through the day Thy love has spared us
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Meter: 8.7 Appears in 317 hymnals 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. Topics: Church; Church One and Universal; Communion of Saints; Life a pilgrimage; Progress Used With Tune: WORLD, FAREWELL! OF THE I'M WEARY
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Hear what God the Lord hath spoken
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.7 Appears in 200 hymnals 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. Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WELT ADE, ICH BIN DEIN MÜDE
