The United Methodist Hymnal Music Supplement ‎#142

142. [Take up thy cross, the Savior said]

A:
4 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.

B:
6 Till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till, glorious from your heaven above,
shall come the city of our God.
