|
<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’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, “Abba, Father”; 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, ’twill but drive me to Thy breast.<br>
|
|
Life with trials hard may press me; heaven will bring me sweeter rest.<br>
|
|
Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me while Thy love is left to me;<br>
|
|
Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o’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’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’s eternal day’s before thee, God’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>
