Author: Ballington Booth Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #240 (1982) First Line: The cross that He gave may be heavy Refrain First Line: The cross is not greater than His grace Lyrics: 1 The cross that He gave may be heavy,
But it ne’er outweighs His grace;
The storm that I feared may surround me,
But it ne’er excludes His face.
Refrain:
The cross is not greater than His grace,
The storm cannot hide His blessed face;
I am satisfied to know
That with Jesus here below,
I can conquer ev'ry foe. Amen.
2 The thorns in my path are not sharper
Than composed His crown for me;
The cup that I drink not more bitter
Than He drank in Gethsemane. [Refrain]
3 The light of His love shineth brighter,
As it falls on paths of woe;
The toil of my work groweth lighter,
As I stoop to raise the low. [Refrain]
4 His will I have joy in fulfilling,
As I'm walking in His sight;
My all to the blood I am bringing,
It alone can keep me right. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [The cross that He gave may be heavy]
