"Take up your cross," the Savior said,

forsake the past, and come this day,
and humbly follow after me."
"if you would my disciple be;
forsake the past, and come this day,
and humbly follow after me."
2.
Take up your cross; let not its weight
pervade your soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
sustain your heart, and nerve your arm.
pervade your soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
sustain your heart, and nerve your arm.
3.
Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
nor let your foolish heart rebel;
for you the Lord endured the cross
to save your soul from death and hell.
nor let your foolish heart rebel;
for you the Lord endured the cross
to save your soul from death and hell.
4.
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.
nor think till death to lay it down;
for those who humbly bear the cross
one day will wear the glorious crown.
