Indelible Grace - Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken lyrics

Jesus, I my cross have taken All to leave and follow Thee Destitute, despised, forsaken Thou from hence my all shall be Perish every fond ambition All I've sought or hoped or known Yet how rich is my condition God and heaven are still my own Let the world despise and leave me They have left my Saviour, too Human hearts and looks deceive me Thou art not, like them, untrue O while Thou dost smile upon me God of wisdom, love, and might Foes may hate and friends disown me Show Thy face, and all is bright Man may trouble and distress me 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast Life with trials hard may press you Heaven will bring me sweeter rest Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me Oh, 'twere in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee Go, then, earthly fame and treasure Come disaster, scorn and pain In Thy service, pain is pleasure With Thy favour, loss is gain I have called Thee Abba, Father I have stayed my heart on Thee Storms may howl and clouds may gather All must work for good to me Soul, then know thy full salvation Rise o'er sin and fear and care Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear Think what Spirit dwells within thee Think what Father's smiles are thine Think what Jesus died to win thee Child of heaven, canst thou repine? Haste thee on from grace to glory Armed by faith, and winged by prayer Heaven's eternal days before thee God's own hand shall guide us there Soon shall cease thy earthly mission Soon shall pa** thy pilgrim days Hope shall change to glad fruition Faith to sight, and prayer to praise
