Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken,
All To Leave And Follow You;
Destitute, Despised, Forsaken,
You On Earth Once Suffered, Too.
Perish Every Fond Ambition,
All I’ve Ever 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 Saviour, Too.
Human Hearts And Looks Deceive Me;
You Are Not, Like Them, Untrue.
And, Since You Have Smiled Upon Me,
God Of Wisdom, Love, And Might,
Foes May Hate And Friends May Shun Me;
Show Your Face, And All Is Bright.
Go, Then, Earthly Fame And Treasure!
Come, Disaster, Scorn, And Pain!
In Your Service Pain Is Pleasure,
With Your Favour Loss Is Gain.
I Have Called You Abba, Father;
You My All In All Shall Be.
Storms May Howl, And Clouds May Gather,
All Must Work For Good To Me.
Haste, My Soul, From Grace To Glory,
Armed By Faith And Winged By Prayer;
All But Heaven Is Transitory,
God’s Own Hand Shall Guide You There.
Soon Shall End This Earthly Story,
Swift Shall Pass The Pilgrim Days,
Hope Soon Change To Heavenly Glory,
Faith To Sight And Prayer To Praise.
