VERSE 1
Take up thy cross, the Saviour 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 the cross; nor heed the shame,
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel;
Thy Lord for thee the cross endured,
To save thy soul from death and hell.
VERSE 4
Take up thy cross; then in His strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,
And lead to victory o'er the grave.
VERSE 5
Take up thy cross; and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
VERSE 6
To Thee, Great Lord, the One in Thee,
All praise for evermore ascend;
O grant us in our Hope to see
The heav'nly life that knows no end.
