Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Appears in 1,304 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Easter Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my All shalt be. 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. 2 Haste my soul from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer, Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: MANT (Autumn)

Vil du mig ene lade gaa I Verdens Sorg og Møie, At dit Øie Jeg ikke skue maa? Hvor kan jeg dette døie? 2 Skal alt mit Levnet usselig Gaa hen i Sorg og Klage? Skal ingen Sol indfinde sig At klare mine Dage? Skal jeg af Avinds giftig' Hær Dog idelig omringes, Undertvinges, Og skal i Lidelser Ei nogen Hjælp mig bringes? 3 Skal for min Modgangs Vintervei Maimaaned aldrig dages? Skal og ved Himlens Straaler ei Min Grædesky bortjages? Skal ingen Honningdraabe mig Udi mit Bæger falde For den Galde, Som skjænkes idelig For mig og Guds Udvalgte? 4 O kjære Sjæl! dit Korses Pund Saa tungt du ei bør tegne, Du har din Frelsers Ord og Mund, Derefter kan du regne: En liden Stund det vare skal, Saa haver din Elende En god Ende, Og skal i Himlens Sal Til evig Fryd sig vende. 5 Lad da kun Verden glæde sig, Og sine Børn opamme I deres korte Himmerig! Lad dem af Ære bramme, Af Høihed, Magt og hvad som mer Lyksalighed kan skjænke! Jeg vil tænke: Naar Jesus til mig ser, Kan Resten mig ei krænke. 6 Lad Verdens Børn i Hjertet le, Naar mine Øine flyde Og for min Sjæles Sorg og Ve Mit Bryst og Barm begyde! Lad Verden trykke mig i Dag Med al sin Magt og Evne! Gud skal hvene, Thi han vil selv min Sag For sig i Rette stevne. 7 Kom Kors og Kummer, kom da hvad Den onde Verden giver! Vi gladelig skal skilles ad; Thi Jesus han indliver Udi min Sjæl saa kraftig Trøst, At med hver Øiedraabe Kan jeg raabe: Gud høre skal min Røst, Det kan jeg tro og haabe!

Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 6 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour In death, as life, be Thou my guide, And save me, who for me hast died.

Author: Brorson; B. Schmolk Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday after Easter High Mass; Third Sunday after Easter High Mass Lyrics: 1 Sørger du endnu, min Sjæl! O nu, hvortil tjener Sorgen? Tro dog, Jesus vil dig vel, Skjønt hans Raad dig er forborgen: Ak, hvor ofte har hans Magt Roser ud af Torne bragt! 2 Kast kun Anker, her er Grund! Det er godt paa Gud at bygge; Har du Trang en liden Stund, O, det er dog kun en Skygge! Korset er in Overgang, Glæden bliver evig lang. 3 Kristi Vei er altid god, Ret og rigtig nok befunden, Han, som haver med sit Blod Til din Frelse sig forbunden; Tro dog da, at det er sandt, Mens du har saa stort et Pant! 4 Jesus giver Fryd og Graad, Det er ingen Slumpe-Lykke, Men vor Herres vise Raad, Lad det da dig ei mistykke! Vi og ti i Bøn og Tro. Det skal give Sjælen Ro! 5 Vist er Veien tung og trang Til at vandre for de Fromme, Skal vi blive fri engang, Faa vi dog den Vei at komme; Gjennem Ørken skal vi gaa, Saa er Kanaan at faa. 6 Derop da mit bange Sind, Hvor man Seiers Kranse finder! Og kun frisk i Kampen ind, Det har ingen Nød, jeg vinder! Thi jet er jo, Jesu, din– Saa er du og Himlen min.

Skynd dig kun med al din Smerte Lige til din Jesum ind! Ja, jeg løber lige til, Lad kun spotte, hvem der vil, Sligt jeg ei kan se og høre, Har det kun med Gud at gjøre. 2 Som i Storm og sterke Vinde Skibet drives under Land, At det Rolighed kan finde, Settes der igjen i Stand, Saadan har nu Vredens Vind, Jesu! drevet mig herind, Da jeg før ei tænke kunde Andet, end at gaa til Grunde. 3 Du vil mig vist ei bortstøde, Søde Jesus, Sjæleven! Thi jeg sørget mig til Døde, Kom jeg ikke til dig hen. Ingen Hjort saa tørstig kan Skrige efter Kildevand, At jeg ei med større Smerte Længes efter dig af Hjerte. 4 Jeg vil ikke tigge længe Der, hvor intet er at faa, Ære, Rigdom, Gods og Penge– Siig mig dog, hvor langt de naa? Da jeg var i Sjæle-Nød, Da var hele Verden død, Ingen kunde, ingen vilde Den fortviled' Sorg formilde. 5 Jesus, ja min Jesus ene, Han alene kan og vil, Derfor hvad end andre mene, Ham jeg trænger mig hen til; Det er ham, min Sjæl, du maa Ene, ene lide paa, Ham jeg ogsaa fast vil holde, Til min' Hænder ere kolde. 6 Jesu, tak, at du tilsteder Mig at komme dig saa nær! Du har søde Ord, som glæder, Sterke Ord, som frelser her Fra al Sorg og Synd og Nød; Se, jeg er i Jesu Skjød! Det er Ære her at ligge, Det er Rigdom her at tigge.
