252. Down at the Cross

1 Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!

Chorus:
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name:
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!

2 I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His name! [Chorus]

3 Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His name! [Chorus]

4 Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior's feet;
Plunge in today and be made complete;
Glory to His name! [Chorus]
