No cross for me,
O bless�d Lord and Savior?
No cross for me,
when Thou Thine own didst bear,
At midnight hour
within the garden kneeling,
While pitying stars beheld
Thy anguish there.
There is a cross,
and gladly I accept it;
There is a warfare
with a host of sin;
But Thou has op�d
the gate of life eternal,
And Thou wilt let
Thine own dear children in.
No cross for me,
when Thou the King of glory,
The Well-Beloved,
the Father�s only Son,
Didst with Thy blood atone
for all transgressions?
For Thou hast tasted
death for ev�ry one.
There is a cross,
and gladly I accept it;
There is a warfare
with a host of sin;
But Thou has op�d
the gate of life eternal,
And Thou wilt let
Thine own dear children in.
No cross for me?
shall I on Pisgah�s mountain
Content abide,
from care and trial free?
Ah, no, but thro�
the wilderness of sorrow,
Tho� pierced with thorns,
my feet shall follow Thee!
There is a cross,
and gladly I accept it;
There is a warfare
with a host of sin;
But Thou has op�d
the gate of life eternal,
And Thou wilt let
Thine own dear children in.
�Take up the cross
if thou art My disciple!�
Deep in my soul
I hear Thy words of love:
�Take up the cross,
and when the war is over,
Home, rest, and crown,
with endless joy above!�
There is a cross,
and gladly I accept it;
There is a warfare
with a host of sin;
But Thou has op�d
the gate of life eternal,
And Thou wilt let
Thine own dear children in.
