Lyrics
Verse 1
"Take up thy cross," the Savior said
"If thou wouldst My disciple be
Deny thyself, the world forsake
And humbly follow after Me."
Verse 2
Take up thy cross, let not its weight
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm
His strength shall bear thy spirit up
And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.
Verse 3
Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel
Thy Lord for thee the cross endured
And saved thy soul from death and hell.
Verse 4
Take up thy cross then in His strength
And calmly sin's wild deluge brave
'Twill guide thee to a better home
It points to glory o'er the grave.
Verse 5
Take up thy cross and follow Christ
Nor think til death to lay it down
For only those who bear the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
Verse 6
To Thee, great Lord, the One in Three
All praise forevermore ascend
O grant us in our home to see
The heavenly life that knows no end....
