I love you, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus! I ask you to stay close by me forever and love me, I pray.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Hymnal: Mor1995 #329 (1995) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to 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 burdens of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, my eye by faith can see the very dying form of one who suffered there for me. And from my contrite heart, with tears, two wonders I confess: the wonder of his glorious love and my unworthiness. 3 The shadow of your cross, Lord, be my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of your face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all, your cross.
