\nJesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee.
\nAll things else I have forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.
\nPerish every fond ambition, all I\u2019ve sought or hoped or known.
\nYet how rich is my condition! God and Heaven are still mine own.<\/p>\n
2
\nLet the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too.
\nHuman hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art faithful, Thou art true.
\nO, \u2018tis not in grief to harm me, while thy love is left to me;
\nO, \u2018twere not in joy to charm me, If that love be hid from me.<\/p>\n
3
\nSoul, then know thy full salvation; rise o\u2019er sin, and fear, and care;
\nJoy to find in every station something still to do or bear:
\nThink what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father\u2019s smiles are thine;
\nThink that Jesus died to win thee, child of heaven, canst thou repine?<\/p>\n
4
\nHaste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer,
\nHeaven\u2019s eternal day\u2019s before thee, God\u2019s own hand shall guide thee there.
\nSoon shall close thy earthly mission, soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;
\nHope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.<\/p>\n
