Beneath The Cross Of Jesus

Verse 1A

Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land,

Verse 1B

A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat And the burdens of the day.

Verse 2A

Upon the cross of Jesus, My eye at times can see The very dying form of one Who suffered there for me.

Verse 2B

And from my trite heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess: The wonder of his glorious love And my unworthiness.

Verse 3A

I take, O cross, your shadow For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine Than the sunshine of his face;

Verse 3B

Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all, the cross.
