ENGLISH LYRICS
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his.. Matt.16:24
1. Take up thy cross, the Saviour said,
If thou wouldst my disciples be;
Deny thyself, the world forsake,
And humble follow after me.
2. Take up thy cross: let not its weight
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
His str'nght shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.
3. Take up thy cross: nor heed the shame,
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel;
Thy Lord for thee the Cross endured
To save thy soul from death and hell.
4. Take up thy cross then in His strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
Twill guide thee to a better home,
And lead to victory o'er the grave.
5. Take up thy cross, and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
6. To Thee, Great Lord, the One in Three,
All praise for evermore ascend;
O grant us in our Hope to see
The heav'nly life that knows no end.
Amen.
