Lyrics

1.

Take up your cross, the Savior said,

If you would my disciple be;

Deny yourself, the world forsake,

And humbly follow after me.

2.

Take up your cross, be not ashamed!

Let not disgrace your spirit fill!

For God himself endured to die

Upon a cross, on Calvary’s hill.

3.

Take up your cross, which gives you strength,

Which makes your trembling spirit brave;

’Twill guide you to a better home

And lead to vict’ry o’er the grave.

4.

Take up your cross, and follow Christ,

Nor think till death to lay it down;

For only they who bear the cross

May hope to wear the glorious crown.
