Song Lyrics: Take Up Your Cross The Saviour Said

1. Take up your cross

the Saviour said.

If you would My disciples be,

take up Your cross

with willing heart

and humbly follow after me’

2. Take up your cross.

Let not its weight fill

your weak soul with vain alarm.

His strength shall bear

your spirt up,

and brace your heart

and nerve Your arm.

3. Take up Your cross,

Don’t hecd the shame.

And let your foolish pride

be still,

Your Lord did not refuse to die

Upon a cross, on Calvary’s hill.

4. Take up your 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.
