Text: | Beneath the Cross of Jesus |
Author: | Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane |
Tune: | ST. CHRISTOPHER |
Composer: | Frederick Charles Maker |
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 that 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.
