Hymn “ Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said (Charles William Everest, 1833)

To the tune of “The Doxology”

1 Take up your cross, the Sav-ior said,

If you would My dis-ci-ple be:

Take up your cross with will-ing heart, 

And hum-bly fol-low after me. 

2. Take up your cross, let not its weight

Fill your weak spir-it with a-larm;

Christ’s strength shall bear your spir-it up

And brace your heart and nerve your arm.

3. Take up your cross, heed not the shame,

And let your fool-ish heart be still;

The Lord for you ac-cept-ed death

Upon a cross, on Cal-vary’s hill.

4. Take up your cross, then,

In Christ’s strength, 

And calm-ly ev-ery dan-ger brave;

It guides you to a-bun-dant life

And leads to vic-tory o’er the grave.
