Bearing the Cross

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,304 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:32 First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow thee; Naked, poor, 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; Oh, while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show thy fact, and all is bright. 3 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! 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. 4 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.

Author: Samuel Davies Appears in 400 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:32 First Line: Lord, I am thine, entirely thine Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine, entirely thine, Purchased and saved by blood divine, With full consent thine I would be, And own thy sovereign right in me. 2 Grant one poor sinner more a place Among the children of thy grace; A wretched sinner, lost to God, But ransomed by Immanuel's blood. 3 Thine would I love, thine would I die, Be thine through all eternity; The vow is past beyond repeal; And now I set the solemn seal. 4 Here at that cross where flows the blood That bought my guilty soul for God, Thee, my new Master now I call, And consecrate to thee my all. 5 Do thou assist a feeble worm, The great engagement to perform; Thy grace can full assistance lend, And on that grace I dare depend.
