Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken Words by Henry F. Lyte Music: Attr. Wolfgang A. Mozart, in Leavitt’s The Christian Lyre, 1831; arr. Hubert P. Main Words and Music public domain 438
Destitute, despised, forsakenThou, from hence, my all shall be
Let the world despise and leave meThey have left my Savior, too
Human hearts and looks deceive meThou art not, like man, untrue
And, while Thou shalt smile upon meGod of wisdom, love and might
Foes may hateand friends may shun meShow Thy face, and all is bright
Haste thee on from grace to gloryArmed by faith and winged by prayer
Heav’n’s eternal days before theeGod’s own handshall guide thee there
Soon shall close thy earthly missionSwift shall pass thy pilgrim days
Hope shall change to glad fruitionFaith to sight, and prayer to praise
