Hymn Title : Beneath The Cross of Jesus

Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would make 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

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 smitten heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess:
The wonder of His glorious love,
And my unworthiness

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
