Take Jesus and Live

Verse 1

Take Jesus and live, Is the burden of song That came from the heart, As we journey along, Thro’ the dark vale of woe To the city above, Where the living may dwell In the haven of love.

Chorus

Take Jesus and live, Take Jesus and live, Is the burden of song, As we journey along; Take Jesus and live, Take Jesus and live, Is the burden of song, As we journey along.

Verse 2

Take Jesus and live, When thro’ shadows and gloom We safely passed thro’, Leading down to the tomb. For his arm will uphold All the weary, oppressed, Till they enter in peace To the mansions of rest.

Verse 3

Take Jesus and live, With the beaming of light, When darkness shall flee, And the morn cometh bright. When all earth’s woes are o’er, And the sin-curse is past; And we dwell with the pure In life’s city at last.
