3806 No Cross for Me

No cross for me, O blessed 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.

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.

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!

“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!”
