Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone
Author: Thomas Shepherd, 1665-1739 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,194 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for ev'ry one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
3 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown
And His dear name repeat.
4 O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down
And bear my soul away. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Christian Life, Discipleship; Commitment/Dedication; Discipleship; Heaven Used With Tune: MAITLAND
Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone
Make me a captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:35 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My power is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it lacks the needed fire to glow,
it lacks the breeze to nerve;
it cannot drive the world
until itself be driven;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heaven.
4 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant,
and found in thee its life. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
Make me a captive, Lord
March on, my soul, with strength
Author: William Wright, 1859-1924 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Mark 8:34 Lyrics: 1 March on, my soul, with strength,
march forward, void of fear;
he who has led will lead
while year succeeds to year;
and as you travel on your way,
his hand shall hold you day by day.
2 March on, my soul, with strength;
in ease you dare not dwell;
high duty calls you forth;
then up, and serve him well!
Take up your cross, take up your sword,
and fight the battles of your Lord!
3 March on, my soul, with strength,
with strength, but not your own;
the conquest you will gain
through Christ your Lord alone;
his grace shall nerve your feeble arm,
his love preserve you safe from harm.
4 March on, my soul, with strength,
from strength to strength march on;
warfare shall end at length,
all foes be overthrown.
And then, my soul, if faithful now,
the crown of life awaits your brow. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; The Pilgrim Community Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH
