C        Em7    F2         C     
  Jesus, I   my cross have taken 
C        Em7       F2     G    
  All to leave and follow Thee 
C       Em7      F2          C     
  Desti-tute, de-spised, for-saken 
C           Em7      F2        C  
  Thou from hence my all shall be 

Am        G     F2      C      
   Perish every fond am-bition 
Am          G         F2       C     
   All I've sought or hoped or known 
Am         C/G     F2     C       
   Yet how rich is my con-dition, 
Dm7     C/E F          Gsus-G    Am7 - F - C - G 
    God and heav'n are still  my own             


C         Em7      F2        C        
  Let the world de-spise and leave me 
C           Em7     F2      G   
  They have left my Savior, too 
C       Em7        F2       C        
  Human hearts and looks de-ceive me 
C          Em7       F2       C    
  Thou art not, like them, un-true 

Am         G         F2      C      
   O while Thou dost smile u-pon me 
Am        G       F2       C     
   God of wisdom, love and might 
Am          C/G      F2          C      
   Foes may hate and friends dis-own me 
Dm7      C/E F        Gsus-G    Am7    - F - C - G 
    Show Thy face and all    is bright             


C           Em7     F2       C        
  Go, then, earthly fame and treasure 
C           Em7    F2        G    
  Come, dis-aster, scorn and pain 
C        Em7      F2      C        
  In Thy service, pain is pleasure 
C          Em7    F2      C    
  With Thy favor, loss is gain 

Am        G            F2     C       
   I have called Thee, "Abba, Father" 
Am        G         F2       C    
   I have stayed my heart on Thee 
Am            C/G       F2         C      
   Storms may howl, and clouds may gather 
Dm7     C/E  F        Gsus-G    Am7 - F - C - G 
    All must work for good   to me              


C            Em7      F2       C      
  Soul, then know thy full sal-vation 
C           Em7     F2       G    
  Rise o'er sin and fear and care 
C        Em7     F2    C       
  Joy to find in every station 
C           Em7      F2    C    
  Something still to do or bear 

Am            G      F2          C       
   Think what Spirit dwells with-in thee 
Am            G        F2         C     
   Think what Father's smiles are thine 
Am            C/G   F2      C        
   Think that Jesus died to win thee 
Dm7       C/E F            Gsus-G    Am7  - F - C
    Child of  heav'n canst thou   re-pine?
