Author: M. Fraser Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #25 (1896) First Line: Take the jeers and take the mocking Lyrics: 1 Take the jeers and take the mocking,
Brother, ‘twill not last for aye;
Take the cross and bear it meekly,
Waiting for the coming day.
2 Take the worst the world can offer,
Persecution, suff’ring, shame;
Jesus bore them all before thee;
Be content to share the same.
3 ‘Tis an honor, high and holy,
To display His banner wide,
And, before a world that hates Him,
To exalt the Crucified. Topics: Cross and Crown; Fellowship and Following Scripture: Acts 5:41 Tune Title: [Take the jeers and take the mocking]
