In truth and in sin­ce­ri­ty,
Its cru­ci­fix­ion bear;
Its cru­ci­fix­ion bear;
From all my foes de­fend.
Watched by the world’s ma­lig­nant eye,
Nor let the scoff­ing lips pre­vail,
And thus to god­ly fear be led.
That glo­ri­ous hour, that dread­ful day,
Bearing the cross—
Drifting away from the Sav­ior,
I short­ly shall be free;
Daily take up Thy wel­come cross;
O won­drous love! con­tent to meet,
Speak to the tem­pest, Peace, be still.
Take up the cross and fol­low Me.
Repenting, go­ing home, is met
I can’t for­get Thy laws.
Nor trem­ble at their migh­ty rage,
No thought His grief can mea­sure.
With us the work to share,

re­proach

To glo­ri­fy His name.
If Je­sus leads me there.
If Je­sus leads me there.
My shame and my dis­grace,
As serv­ants of the Lord most high,
Didst Thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
Thy right­eous judg­ments I con­fess;
And clears the hon­or of Thy Word:
Having their robes washed in
Drifting away from His tem­ple,
May God re­mem­ber me.
And cru­ci­fied with Thee re­main.
For us, His sac­red hands and feet
And slan­der wound as with a sword,
Take up the cross, des­pise the shame;
God’s migh­ty love! On Cal­va­ry’s height,
Which I so just­ly fear;
To Da­vid and his roy­al seed
Wounds, ang­uish, cross, and dy­ing pain,
With us the cross to bear,
