10386. Beneath The Shadow Of The Cross

1 Beneath the shadow of the cross
As earthly hopes remove,
His new commandment Jesus gives,
His blessèd word of love.

2 O bond of union, strong and deep!
O bond of perfect peace!
Not even the lifted cross can harm,
If we but hold to this.

3 Then, Jesus, be Thy Spirit ours!
And swift our feet shall move
To deeds of pure self-sacrifice,
"And the sweet tasks of love."
