‘Take Up Your Cross,’ The Saviour Said,
‘If You Would My Disciple Be;
Deny Yourself, Forsake The World,
And Humbly Follow After Me.’
Take Up Your Cross — Let Not Its Weight
Fill Your Weak Soul With Vain Alarm;
His Strength Shall Bear Your Spirit Up,
And Brace Your Heart, And Nerve Your Arm.
Take Up Your Cross, Nor Heed The Shame,
Nor Let Your Foolish Pride Rebel;
The Lord For You The Cross Endured
To Save Your Soul From Death And Hell.
Take Up Your Cross, Then, In His Strength,
And Calmly Every Danger Brave;
He Guides Us To A Better Home,
And Leads To Conquest Of The Grave.
Take Up Your Cross And Follow Christ,
Nor Think Till Death To Lay It Down;
For Only They Who Bear The Cross
May Hope To Win The Glorious Crown.
Take Up Your Cross The Saviour Said Title, Take Up Your Cross The Saviour Said Title, Take Up Your Cross The Saviour Said Title, Take Up Your Cross The Saviour Said Lyrics.
