Tune: Breslau
('Take up thy cross, the Saviour said')
**********
In times restricted or without
Some things a while, though not to doubt
But trust in you, Lord, that w go
Your way, though sometimes hardship know
May we not take for granted here
Everyday things that appear
Your way, your will, to put it first
To hunger rafter you and thirst
If find some unnecessary
Things we can do without, so be
Whether for short time or for long
Yet unto you still be our song
For you the Lord, you do not change
We shall not find uncertain, strange
Your guidance, leading, for you do
Promise good to who follow you
Though if we will follow you, see
You say take up our cross daily
To self-deny, not what we will
But seeking your will and way still
Through deserts, lonely lands may you
Go with us, strengthen us anew
Who travelled though bare wilderness
Tempted forty days, nights, no less

Thanks A&B. Yes, can share it as you wish. Can I share/adapt one of your poems, to a hymn-poem? The village church one, I think. I don't want to say 'with permission from....' if I've not obtained it!
