Mark 8:34

• [Mar 8:34] Carry Your Cross With A Smile

  Tho’ your heart may be heavy with sorrow and care, You may others to gladness beguile, If a face like the light of the morning you wear, And carry your cross with a smile! Refrain Carry your cross with a smile, Carry your cross with a smile; You may others from sadness to gladness beguile, If you carry your cross with a smile. Let the well by the wayside that flows unto all Strength impart for each step of the mile; Let your faith the great promises often recall, And carry your cross with a smile! Refrain For the work that you faithfully, willingly do, You shall reap a reward after while; Only grace in your service can glorify you, So carry your cross with a smile! Refrain

• [Mar 8:34] Cross Is Not Greater, The

  The cross that He gave may be heavy, But it ne’er outweighs His grace; The storm that I feared may surround me, But it ne’er excludes His face. Refrain The cross is not greater than His grace, The storm cannot hide His blessèd face; I am satisfied to know That with Jesus here below, I can conquer every foe. The thorns in my path are not sharper Than composed His crown for me; The cup that I drink not more bitter Than He drank in Gethsemane. Refrain The light of His love shineth brighter, As it falls on paths of woe; The toil of my work groweth lighter, As I stoop to raise the low. Refrain His will have I joy in fulfilling, As I’m walking in His sight; My all to the blood I am bringing, It alone can keep me right. Refrain

• [Mar 8:34] Cross Of My Redeemer, The

  On Calvary’s distant mountain The cross of faith I see, Where once the Lord of glory Was crucified for me. Refrain The cross of my Redeemer, O may I still defend, And through the grace He giveth Be faithful to the end. As on that cross extended, He suffered, bled and died, To sinful thoughts and pleasures May I be crucified. Refrain He bore that cross with patience; Through sorrow dark and sin, He bids me now, believing, Take up my cross for Him. Refrain Had I no foes to conquer No cross on earth to bear, A victor’s crown of triumph, I could not hope to wear. Refrain

• [Mar 8:34] For Man The Savior Shed

  For man the Savior shed His all atoning blood, And, oh, shall ransomed man refuse To suffer for his God? Ashamed who now can be To own the Crucified? Nay, rather be our glory this, To die for Him Who died? So felt Thy martyr, Lord; By Thy right hand sustained, He waged for Thee the battle’s strife, And threatened death disdained. Upon the golden crown Gazing with eager breath, He fought as one who fain would die, And, dying, conquer death. Alone he stood unmoved Amid his cruel foes; Oh, wondrous was the might that then Above his torturers rose! Lord, give us grace to bear Like him our cross of shame, To do and suffer what Thou wilt, For love of Thy dear Name. Jesu, the King of saints, We praise Thee and adore, Who art, with God the Father One And Spirit evermore.

• [Mar 8:34] Take Up Thy Cross (ackley)

  I walked one day along a country road, And there a stranger journeyed, too, Bent low beneath the burden of His load: It was a cross, a cross I knew. Refrain “Take up thy cross and follow Me.” I hear the blessèd Savior call; How can I make a lesser sacrifice, When Jesus gave His all? I cried, “Lord Jesus,” and He spoke my name; I saw His hands all bruised and torn; I stooped to kiss away the marks of shame, The shame for me that He had borne. Refrain “O let me bear Thy cross, dear Lord,” I cried, And lo, a cross for me appeared, The one forgotten I had cast aside, The one, so long, that I had feared. Refrain My cross I’ll carry till the crown appears, The way I journey soon will end Where God Himself shall wipe away all tears, And friend hold fellowship with friend.

  I can hear my Savior calling, I can hear my Savior calling, I can hear my Savior calling, “Take thy cross and follow, follow Me.” Refrain Where He leads me I will follow, Where He leads me I will follow, Where He leads me I will follow; I’ll go with Him, with Him, all the way. I’ll go with Him through the garden, I’ll go with Him through the garden, I’ll go with Him through the garden, I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way. Refrain I’ll go with Him through the judgment, I’ll go with Him through the judgment, I’ll go with Him through the judgment, I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

• [Mar 8:34] Where The Savior Leads

  If in the valley where the bright waters flow, Jesus, my Savior leads me, gladly I’ll go; If, by His hand directed o’er ocean’s wave, Gladly I’ll bear His message, lost ones to save. Refrain Where the Savior leads me, I will gladly follow, Where the loving Savior leads me, I will gladly go. Out on the barren mountains, dreary and cold, Seeking the sheep that wander far from the fold; Storm clouds may frown above me, fierce winds may blow, Yet, if my Savior leads me, onward I’ll go. Refrain Where’er the Savior leads me, I’ll follow still, Patient in joy or sorrow, biding His will; He knows the path of safety, He knows the way, Home to the many mansions, bright, bright as day.

• [Mar 8:34] Who Will Suffer With The Savior?

  Who will suffer with the Savior, Take the little that remains Of the cup of tribulation Jesus drank in dying pain? Refrain Lord, we fellowship Thy passion, Gladly suffer shame and loss; With Thy blessing pain is pleasure, We will glory in Thy cross. Who will offer soul and body On the altar of our God? Leaving self and worldly mammon, Take the path that Jesus trod? Refrain O for consecrated service ’Mid the din of Babel strife! Who will dare the truth to herald At the peril of his life? Refrain Soon the conflict will be over, Crowns await the firm and pure; Forward, brethren, work and suffer, Faithful to the end endure. Refrain

• [Mar 10:21] So Near To The Kingdom

  So near to the kingdom! yet what dost thou lack? So near to the kingdom! what keepeth thee back? Renounce every idol, tho’ dear it may be, And come to the Savior now pleading with thee. Refrain Pleading with thee, The Savior is pleading, Is pleading with thee. So near that thou hearest the songs that resound From those who, believing, a pardon have found! So near, yet unwilling to give up thy sin, When Jesus is waiting to welcome thee in! Refrain O come; soon thy season of grace may be past, The door may be closed, and this call be thy last; O where wouldst thou turn if the light should depart That comes from the Spirit, and shines on thy heart? Refrain To die with no hope! hast thou counted the cost? To die out of Christ, and thy soul to be lost! So near to the kingdom! O come, we implore, While Jesus is pleading, come enter the door.

• [Mar 10:21] Though Kindred Ties Around Us

  Though kindred ties around us Like ivy branches twine, Though life has many pleasures That o’er my pathway shine, Though words to friendship sacred More sweet than music fall, One look, one smile from Jesus Is dearer far than all. Refrain Dearer, yes, dearer, Dearer far than all, One look, one smile from Jesus, Is dearer far than all. We meet in Christian converse, We speak of joys to come, We lift our eyes expectant To Eden’s blissful home; Though sweet and precious blessings With every moment fall, One look, one smile, from Jesus Is dearer far than all. Refrain One look, one smile from Jesus, For Whom our souls would live, Not Heav’n’s transcendent beauty Such holy joy can give; Beyond the silent river Though spirit voices call, One look, one smile, from Jesus Is dearer far than all.

Mark 11:17

• [Mar 11:17] Thy Mansion Is The Christian’s Heart

  Thy mansion is the Christian’s heart, O Lord, Thy dwelling-place secure! Bid the unruly throng depart, And leave the consecrated door. Devoted as it is to Thee, A thievish swarm frequents the place; They steal away my joys from me, And rob my Savior of His praise. There too a sharp designing trade Sin, Satan, and the world, maintain; Nor cease to press me, and persuade, To part with ease and purchase pain. I know them, and I hate their din, Am weary of the bustling crowd; But while their voice is heard within, I cannot serve Thee as I would. O! for the joy Thy presence gives, What peace shall reign when Thou art here! Thy presence makes this den of thieves, A calm delightful house of prayer. And if Thou make Thy temple thine, Yet, self-abased, will I adore; The gold and silver are not mine, I give Thee what was Thine before.

Mark 12:17

• [Mar 12:17] Soul, What Return Has God, Thy Savior

  Soul, what return has God, thy Savior, For all He gives thee day by day? Oh, hast thou in thy gift a favor That can delight and please Him?—Say! The best of off’rings He requires: Thy heart it is that He desires. Give unto God thy heart’s affection; Who else can claim thee as His own? Should Satan hold thee in subjection? With him but pangs of hell are known. To Thee alone, O Lord divine, My heart and all I now resign. Accept the gift which Thou requirest, My heart and soul, O gracious God, The first-fruits Thou so much desirest, For which Thy Son paid with His blood. To Thee I willingly assign My heart, dear Lord, for it is Thine. Whom should I give my heart’s affection But Thee, who gavest Thine to faith? Thy fervent love is my protection; Lord, Thou hast loved me unto death. My heart with Thine shall ever be One heart throughout eternity.

Mark 14:72

• [Mar 14:72] O Jesu Christ, If Aught There Be

  O Jesu Christ, if aught there be That, more than all beside, In ever painful memory Must in my heart abide, It is that deep ingratitude Which I to Thee have shown, Who didst for me in tears and blood Upon the cross atone. Alas, how with my actions all Has this defect entwined; How has it poisoned with its gall My spirit, heart and mind! Alas, through this, how many a gem I’ve rudely cast away, That might have formed my diadem In everlasting day! Yet though the time be past and gone, Though little more remains: Though naught is all that can be done, E’en with my utmost pains; Still will I strive, O Savior mine, To do what in me lies; For never did Thy glance divine A contrite heart despise.
