Mine the Cross

Mine the cross

and Thine the glo­ry

Thou has suf­fered once for me;

Let my life be calm or cloud­ed

I can trust it

Lord

to Thee.

Let me feel the sweet as­surance

Of Thy pre­sence always near

Grant me on­ly this

my Fa­ther

And my soul can nev­er fear.

Mine the cross

and Thine the glo­ry

Thou has suf­fered once for me;

Let my life be calm or cloud­ed

I can trust it

Lord

to Thee.

All I am Thy grace has made me

All I am I owe to Thee

I can only thank and praise Thee

For a love so pure and free.

Self de­ny­ing

per­sev­er­ing

Where Thy bless­èd feet have led

May I fol­low

daily grow­ing

Up to Thee

my liv­ing head.

All I am Thy grace has made me

All I am I owe to Thee

I can on­ly thank and praise Thee

For a love so pure and free.

Mine the cross

and Thine the glo­ry

Thou hast borne it once for me;

Help me bear with Christ­ian meek­ness

Every tri­al sent by Thee.

On Thy strength alone re­ly­ing

With Thy lamp to cheer my way

Leaning on the staff of mer­cy

I will la­bor

trust and pray.

Mine the cross

and Thine the glo­ry

Thou hast borne it once for me;

Help me bear with Christ­ian meek­ness

Every tri­al sent by Thee.
