Take up your cross, the Savior said
Author: Charles William Everest, 1814-1877 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 298 hymnals 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 sprit 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 Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave:
it guides you to abundant life
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your 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. Topics: The Christian Life Used With Tune: BOURBON

had not I loved Thy law divine;
that law I never can forget;
O save me, Lord, for I am Thine.

imperfect I have found all else,
but boundless is Thy wondrous law. Topics: Instruction Scripture: Psalm 119:89-96 Used With Tune: BOURBON Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Unless the Lord the House Shall Build
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build,
The weary builders toil in vain;
Unless the Lord the city shield,
The guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise ere morning break,
And late your nightly vigils keep,
And weary days of toil partake;
For God's belovèd there is sleep.
3 Yes, children are a great reward,
A gift from God in very truth;
As quiver full of arrows stored
Are children given in days of youth.
4 How blest are those whose lives are cheered
By children's growth in strength and grace.
Within their house no foes are feared,
For God keeps watch within that place. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: BOURBON Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt.

Thy Broken Body, Gracious Lord
Author: Samuel P. Tregelles Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy broken body, gracious Lord,
is shadowed by this broken bread;
the wine which in this cup is poured
points to the blood which Thou hast shed.
2 And while we meet together thus,
we show that we are one in Thee;
Thy precious blood was shed for us,
Thy death, O Lord, hast set us free!
3 Brethren in Thee, in union sweet,
forever be Thy grace adored!
'Tis in Thy Name that now we meet,
and Thou art with us, gracious Lord.
4 We have one hope that Thou wilt come,
Thee in the air we wait to see,
when Thou wilt give Thy saints a home,
and we shall ever reign with Thee. Topics: Communion Used With Tune: BOURBON

The LORD, My Savior, Is My Light
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The LORD, my Savior, is my light;
what terrors can my soul affright?
While GOD my strength, my life is near,
what potent arm shall make me fear?
2 The greatest joy my heart desires,
and for which all my soul aspires,
is in GOD's house to spend my days,
my life devoted to His praise.
3 This do I seek with ceaseless prayer;
and GOD attends my earnest prayer;
here may my soul His beauties trace,
and know the wonders of His grace.
4 When troubles rise, my guardian GOD
will hide me safe in His abode!
Firm as a rock my hope shall stand,
sustained by His almighty hand.
5 Should every earthly friend depart,
or should I lose my parents' heart,
then GOD on whom my hopes depend
will still be Father, Guide, and Friend.
