ANTHEM: Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said arr. by Howard Helvey
Take up your cross, the Savior said, if you would my disciple be; take up your cross with willing heart and humbly follow after me. Take up your cross; let not its weight fill your weak spirit with alarm; Christ’s strength shall bear your spirit up and brace your heart and nerve your arm. Take up your cross, heed not the shame, and let your foolish heart be still; the Lord for you accepted death upon a cross, on Calvary’s hill. Take up your cross, then, in His strength, and calmly every danger brave: it guides you to abundant life and heads to victory over the grave. Take up your cross, and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down; for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown. [Charles William Everest]
