Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee

Author: Lyle Appears in 1,301 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:28-30 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, henceforth, 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: 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.
