Everest, 1814-1877 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 300 hymnals First Line: Take up your cross, the Savior said Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said, "If you would my disciple be; Take up your cross with willing heart, And humbly follow after me." 2 Take up your cross: let not its weight Fill your weak spirit with alarm; His strength shall bear your spirit up, And brace your heart and nerve your arm. 3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame, And let your foolish heart be still; The Lord for you accepted death Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill. 4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength, And calmly ev'ry danger brave: It guides you to a better home And leads to vict'ry o'er the grave. 5 Take up your cross and follow Christ, Nor think till death to lay it down; For those who humbly bear the cross One day will wear the glorious crown.

O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come To pray for health, to plead for friends. How can we fail to be restored, When reached by love that never ends? 2 From ev'ry ailment flesh endures Our bodies clamor to be freed; Yet in our hearts we would confess That wholeness is our deepest need. 3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires, How weak our knowledge of ourselves! Release in us those healing truths Unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 In conflicts that destroy our health We recognize the world's disease; Our common life declares our ills: Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, In your community may find The wholeness that, enriching us, Shall reach the whole of humankind.

He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns; Praise Him in evangelic strains; Let the whole earth in songs rejoice, And distant islands join their voice. 2. Deep are His counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support His throne; Through gloomy clouds His ways surround, Justice is their eternal ground. 3. In robes of judgment, lo! He comes, Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs; Before Him burns devouring fire; The mountains melt, the seas retire. 4. His enemies, with sore dismay, Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints on high, And sing for your redemption’s nigh.

When Israel, Freed from Pharaoh's Hand

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Israel, freed from Pharaoh’s hand Left the proud tyrant and his land, The tribes with cheerful homage own Their king, and Judah was His throne. 2. Across the deep their journey lay; The deep divides to make them way; Jordan beheld their march, and fled With backward current to his head. 3. The mountains shook like frighted sheep, Like lambs the little hillocks leap; Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sovereign power at hand. 4. What power could make the deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his tide? Why did ye leap, ye little hills? And whence the fright that Sinai feels? 5. Let every mountain, every flood, Retire and know th’approaching God, The King of Israel: see Him here; Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear. 6. He thunders, and all nature mourns; The rock to standing pools He turns; Flints spring with fountains at His word, And fires and seas confess the Lord.

Selnecker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide; Let not Thy Word, that shining light, Be veiled to us in error's night. 2 In these last days when ills abound, O keep us in Thy doctrine sound, That we Thy Word and Sacrament May pure retain till life is spent. 3 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Church uphold, For we are languid, slothful, cold; O prosper well Thy Word of grace And spread its truth in ev'ry place. 4 O keep us in Thy Word, we pray; Turn Satan's guile and rage away; Thy Church with grace and peace endue, Make us united, patient, true. 5 Those haughty spirits, Lord, restrain, Who o'er Thy Church presume to reign And ever aim to say things new, Devised to change Thy doctrine true. 6 Lord, keep us steadfast to the end, That on Thy Word we may depend Till we depart for yonder shore And dwell with Thee for evermore.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 153 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 My soul lies humbled in the dust And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my pow'r shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.
