LyicsJesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be!
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known,
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heaven are all my own.
Go, then, earthly fame and treasure,
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain;
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor loss is gain;
I have call'd thee Abba, Father,
I have set my heart on thee;
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.
