<div class="lyrics">
<p>Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee.<br>
Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.<br>
Perish every fond ambition, all I&#8217;ve sought or hoped or known.<br>
Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still mine own.</p>
<p>Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too.<br>
Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue.<br>
And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might,<br>
Foes may hate and friends disown me, show Thy face and all is bright.</p>
<p>Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn and pain!<br>
In Thy service, pain is pleasure; with Thy favor, loss is gain.<br>
I have called Thee, &#8220;Abba, Father&#8221;; I have set my heart on Thee:<br>
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, all must work for good to me.</p>
<p>Man may trouble and distress me, &#8217;twill but drive me to Thy breast.<br>
Life with trials hard may press me; heaven will bring me sweeter rest.<br>
Oh, &#8217;tis not in grief to harm me while Thy love is left to me;<br>
Oh, &#8217;twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee.</p>
<p>Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o&#8217;er sin, and fear, and care;<br>
Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear:<br>
Think what Spirit dwells within thee; what a Father&#8217;s smile is thine;<br>
What a Savior died to win thee, child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?</p>
<p>Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer,<br>
Heaven&#8217;s eternal day&#8217;s before thee, God&#8217;s own hand shall guide thee there.<br>
Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;<br>
Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.</p>
