Beneath The Cross Of Jesus
Verse 1Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,W: The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;M: The shaddow in a weary landW: A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,M: A home, a rest, upon the wayFrom the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of theday.
Verse 2Upon the cross of Jesus, mine eye at times can seeW: The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;M: The very dying One for me;W: And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confessM: And from my heart, I confessThe wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
Verse 3I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place:W: I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;M: I ask, no other than His face;W: Content to let the world go by to know no gain nor loss,M: Content to know no gain nor loss.My sinful self my only shame, my glory, all the cross.
