Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10386 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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." Languages: English Tune Title: ALEXANDRIA
