��Chakles William Everest (1814-1877).

TAKE up thy cross, the Saviour said, If thou wouldst my disciple be ; Deny thyself, the world forsake, And humbly follow after me.

��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.

��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.

Take up thy cross, then, in his strength, And calmly every danger brave ;

'Twill guide thee to a better home, And lead to victory o'er the grave.

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.
