lyrics

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Words: Henry Lyte, 1825
Music: Bill Moore, 2001

Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shall 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.

Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my savior too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me;
Show thy face, and all is bright.

Man may trouble and distress me,
‘Twill but drive me to thy breast;
life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
O ‘tis not in grief to harm me,
While thy love is left to me;
O ‘twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.

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 savior died to win thee:
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?

Hasten on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven’s eternal days before thee,
God’s own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
