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.

O the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished!” hear him cry; learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb where they laid his breathless clay: all is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise.
