SECOND TUNE.

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

follow Me.'

NAKE up thy cross,' the Saviour said,
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,

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.

And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm.

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.

In spirit, Lord, we've sat with Thee
Beside the springing well

Of life and peace, and heard Thee there
Its healing virtues tell.

Dead to the world, we dream no more
Of earthly pleasures now,-
Our deep, Divine, unfailing spring
Of grace and glory Thou!

mf 6 No hope of rest in aught beside,
No beauty, Lord, we see,
And, like Samaria's daughter, seek
And find our all in Thee.

It triumphed o'er disease and death,
O'er darkness and the grave.

To Thee they went-the blind, the dumb,
The palsied, and the lame,

The leper with his tainted life,
