Beneath The Cross of Jesus Lyrics

Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1872

• Verse 1
• Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
• The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
• A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
• From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.
• 
  
• Verse 2
• Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
• The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;
• And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess;
• The wonders of redeeming love and my own worthlessness.
• 
  
• Verse 3
• I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;
• I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
• Content to let the world go by to know no gain or loss,
• My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
