'He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them.'

He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto Him.'

They forsook all, and followed Him.'

JESUS calls us: o'er the tumult

Of our life's wild restless sea,
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, Christian, follow Me,'-

2 As, of old, apostles heard it

By the Galilæan lake,

Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for His dear sake.

3 Jesus calls us from the worship

Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, 'Christian, love Me more.'

m 4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
That we love Him more than these.

mp 5

Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies,

O

If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and

TAKE

'If thou wouldst My disciple be;

Deny thyself, the world forsake,

And humbly follow after Me.'

2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,

And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.

mp 3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel;
Thy Lord for thee the cross endured,
To save thy soul from death and hell.

m 4 Take up thy cross, then, in His strength,
And calmly every danger brave;

"T will guide thee to a better home,

And lead to victory o'er the grave.

mp 5 Take up thy 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.
