<p>“Take up thy cross,” the Savior said,<br>
|
|
“If thou wouldst My disciple be;<br>
|
|
Deny thyself, the world forsake,<br>
|
|
And humbly follow after Me.”</p>
|
|
<p>Take up thy cross, let not its weight<br>
|
|
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm;<br>
|
|
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,<br>
|
|
And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.</p>
|
|
<p>Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,<br>
|
|
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel;<br>
|
|
Thy Lord for thee the cross endured,<br>
|
|
And saved thy soul from death and hell.</p>
|
|
<p>Take up thy cross then in His strength,<br>
|
|
And calmly sin’s wild deluge brave,<br>
|
|
’Twill guide thee to a better home,<br>
|
|
It points to glory o’er the grave.</p>
|
|
<p>Take up thy cross and follow Christ,<br>
|
|
Nor think til death to lay it down;<br>
|
|
For only those who bear the cross<br>
|
|
May hope to wear the glorious crown.</p>
|
|
<p>To Thee, great Lord, the One in Three,<br>
|
|
All praise forevermore ascend:<br>
|
|
O grant us in our home to see<br>
|
|
The heavenly life that knows no end.</p>
