Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #274 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Dedication of Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my All shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heaven are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'T will but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest; O 't is not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; O 't were not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee: God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFER
