Take Up Thy Cross,” The Savior Said,
“If Thou Wouldst My Disciple Be;
Deny Thyself, The World Forsake,
And Humbly Follow After Me.”

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.

Take Up Thy 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.

Take Up Thy Cross And Follow Christ,
Nor Think Till Death To Lay It Down;
For Only Those Who Bear The Cross
May Hope To Wear The Glorious Crown.
