Pearls of Praise ‎#40

40. 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, glory, glory to his name.

Refrain:
Down at the cross, down at the cross,
Down at the cross where the Savior died;
Down at the cross was the blood applied,
Glory, glory, glory to his name.

2 Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory, glory, glory to his name. [Refrain]

3 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, glory, glory to his name. [Refrain]
