325 Jesus I My Cross Have Taken
[1]
Jesus I my cross have taken
All to leave and follow Thee;
All things else I have 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
While I prove the Lord my own.

Let the world despise and leave me;
They have left my Savior too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art faithful Thou art true.
O tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O twere not in joy to charm me
If that love be hid from me.

Soul then know 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;
Think what Father s smiles are thine;
Think that Jesus died to win thee;
Child of Heaven canst thou repine?

Haste thee 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
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition
Faith to sight and prayer to praise.
