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.
