Thy Cross, O Jesus, Thou Didst Bear
Author: Erik Gustaf Geijer; Emil A. Edlén Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #105 (1926) Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 Thy cross, O Jesus, Thou didst bear,
And yield Thyself an off'ring
To save a sinful world which e'er
With scorn beholds Thy suff'ring,
O wondrous love
From heav'n above,
To bleed for thine accusers!
2 Thy cross, Redeemer, Thou didst bear,
When all had Thee forsaken;
My sins and guilt Thou borest there,
Thy love hath me o'ertaken!
Thou callest me
To come to Thee
And be Thy child forever.
3 Thy cross, O Saviour, Thou didst bear;
Thy boundless might and glory,
Forever praised by angels fair,
And told in sacred story.
Thou didst resign,
O love divine
That conquereth in dying!
4 Thy cross to victory Thou didst bear.
O grant that I, dear Saviour,
May glory in the cross and share
The heavenly joy and favor!
Then shall my soul
Have reached its goal,
Safe in Thy loving bosom.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SO GEHST DU NUN, MEIN JESU, HIN.

Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
4. Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' blessed feet,
With joy I'll cast my golden crown,
And His dear Name repeat.
5. O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away.

Something still to do or bear.

Armed by faith and winged by prayer;

Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,

In shining letters, "God is love."
He bears our sins upon the tree;
He brings us mercy from above.

It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day
And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes the terror from the grave
And gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heav'n above.

On your holy Passion;
With your Spirit me endow
For such meditation.

May the image cherish
Of your suff'ring, pain, and death
That I may not perish.
2 Make me see your great distress,
Anguish, and affliction,
Bonds and stripes and wretchedness
And your crucifixion;
Make me see how scourge and rod,
Spear and nails did wound you,
How you died for those, O God,
Who with thorns had crowned you.
3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone
Make me see your Passion;
But its cause to me make known
And its termination.
For I also and my sin
Brought your deep affliction;
This the shameful cause has been
Of your crucifixion.
4 Grant that I your Passion view
With repentant grieving,
Let me not bring shame to you
By unholy living.
How could I refuse to shun
Ev'ry sinful pleasure
Since for me God's only Son
Suffered without measure?
5 If my sins give me alarm
And my conscience grieve me,
Let your cross my fear disarm,
Peace and pardon give me.
Grant that I may trust in you
And your holy Passion;
If his Son forgives anew,
God must have compassion.
6 Jesus, Lord, my heart renew,
Let me bear my crosses,
Learning humbleness from you,
Peace despite my losses.
May I give you love for love!

Sing your praise forever. Languages: English Tune Title: JESU KREUZ, LEIDEN UND PEIN

In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #101 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time.
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'er take me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo, it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide. Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #107 (1978) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand;
The shadow of a mighty rock
Within a weary land,
A home within a wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat
And burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
My eye at times can see
The very dying form of one
Who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess:
The wonder of his glorious love
And my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of his face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all, the cross. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #316 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Life Cross-Bearing Lyrics: 1. Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be:
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and Heav'n are still my own!
2. Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Savior, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3. Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
4. Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith, and winged by pra,yer;
Heav'n's eternal day's before thee
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFER
