‘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.
