1.Jesus, I my cross have taken,All to leave and follow thee;All things else I have forsaken,Thou henceforth my all shalt be;Perish ev'ry fond ambition,All I've sought or hoped or known;Yet how much is my condition,God and heav'n are still my own.2.Let the world despise and leave me,They have left my Saviour, too;Human hearts and looks deceive me;Thou art faithful, thou art true;And, while thou dost smile upon me,God of wisdom, love and might,Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;Show thy face, and all is bright.3.Hast'ning on from grace to glory,Arm'd by faith and wing'd by pray'r;Heav'n's eternal day's before me,God's own hand is guiding there.Soon shall close my earthly mission,Swift shall pass these pilgrim days,Hope shall change to glad fruition,Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
