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. 2. Upon the 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 unworthiness. 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 nor loss; my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross. |
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 burning heart at noontide And the burden of the day. 2. O safe and happy shelter!
O refuge tried and sweet! O trysting place where heaven’s love And heaven’s justice meet! As to the holy patriarch That wondrous dream was given, So seems my Saviour’s cross to me A ladder up to heav’n. 3. There lies, beneath its shadow
But on the farther side, The darkness of an awful grave That gapes both deep and wide; And there between us stands the cross, Two arms outstretched to save; A watchman set to guard the way From that eternal grave 4. Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eyes at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my strikes heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess – The wonders of redeeming love, And my unworthiness. 5. 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 reckon gain as loss – My sinful self, my only shame, My glory all – the cross. |
- Lyrics by Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane (1829-1839).
