325. Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

SDA Hymnal

Verse 1

Jesus, I my cross have taken,

All to leave and follow Thee;

All things else I have forsaken;

Thou from hence my all shalt be.

Perish every fond ambition,

All I've sought, or hoped, or known;

Yet how rich is my condition,

While I prove the Lord my own.

Verse 1

Let the world despise and leave me;

They have left my Savior, too;

Human hearts and looks deceive me;

Thou art faithful, Thou art true.

O, 'tis not in grief to harm me,

While Thy love is left to me;

O, 'twere not in joy to charm me,

If that love be hid from me.

Verse 2

Soul, then know thy full salvation;

Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;

Joy to find in every station

Something still to do or bear.

Think what Spirit dwells within thee;

Think what Father's smiles are thine;

Think that Jesus died to win thee;

Child of Heaven, canst thou repine?

Verse 3

Haste thee on from grace to glory,

Armed by faith and winged by prayer;

Heaven's eternal day's before thee;

God's own hand shall guide thee there.

Soon shall close thy earthly mission,

Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;

Hope shall change to glad fruition,

Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
