[Verse 1]
 E    G#m7    A2     E
Jesus, I my cross have taken
E     G#m7      A2   B
All to leave and follow Thee
E       G#m7      A       E
Destitute, despised, forsaken
E          G#m7     A2       E
Thou from hence my all shall be
C#m7     B    A       E
Perish every fond ambition
C#m7        B        A        E
All I’ve sought or hoped or known
C#m7     E/B      A     E
Yet how rich is my condition
F#m7    E/G#  A        Bsus  B   (C#m7...)
God and heaven are still my own

[Verse 2]
 E     G#m7    A2      E
Let the world despise and leave me
 E      G#m7      A2   B
They have left my Savior too
E       G#m7       A       E
Human hearts and looks deceive me
E          G#m7     A2       E
Thou art not like them untrue
C#m7     B    A       E
Oh while Thou dost smile upon me
C#m7        B        A        E
God of wisdom, love and might
C#m7     E/B      A     E
Foes may hate and friends disown me
F#m7    E/G#  A        Bsus  B   (C#m7...)
Show Thy face and all is bright

[Verse 3]
 E     G#m7    A2      E
Go then earthly fame and treasure
 E      G#m7      A2   B
Come disaster, scorn, and pain
E       G#m7      A       E
In Thy service, pain is pleasure
E          G#m7     A2       E
With Thy favor, loss is gain
C#m7     B    A       E
I have called Thee, “Abba Father”
C#m7      B       A        E
I have stayed my heart on Thee
C#m7        E/B        A       E
Storms may howl and clouds may gather
F#m7    E/G#  A       Bsus  B   (C#m7...)
All must work for good to me

[Verse 4]
 E    G#m7    A2     E
Soul, then know thy full salvation
 E      G#m7      A2   B
Rise o’er sin and fear and care
E       G#m7      A       E
Joy to find in every station
E          G#m7     A2       E
Something still to do or bear
C#m7     B    A       E
Think what Spirit dwells within thee
C#m7      B       A        E
Think what Father’s smiles are thine
C#m7        E/B        A       E
Think that Jesus died to win thee
F#m7    E/G#  A        Bsus  B   (C#m7...)
Child of heaven canst thou repine

[Verse 5]
E       G#m7    A2      E
Haste thee on from grace to glory
E       G#m7      A2   B
Armed by faith and winged by prayer
E       G#m7      A       E
Heaven’s eternal days before thee
E          G#m7     A2       E
God’s own hand shall guide thee there
C#m7     B    A       E
Soon shall close thy earthly mission
C#m7      B       A        E
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days
C#m7        E/B        A       E
Hope shall change to glad fruition
F#m7    E/G#  A          Bsus  B
Faith to sight and prayer to praise
