The Cross My Boast

Author: Vivian A. Dake Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: What have I on earth to boast of Refrain First Line: Jesus hung on Calv’ry’s mountain Lyrics: 1 What have I on earth to boast of? Why are gifts so glorious mine? God and Heav’n am I the heir of; Why dos Thou, Lord, claim me Thine? Refrain: Jesus hung on Calv’ry’s mountain, Cried and groaned, and bled for me, And from out the cleansing fountain Poured the stream that sets me free. 2 Jesus died, the God-life bringing; Jesus wept, my tears to stay; Jesus groaned to give me singing; Bore Hell’s night to give me day. [Refrain] 3 He was poor to give me treasure; He was slave to make me king; He was hated without measure, Heaven’s love to me to bring. [Refrain] 4 Have I joy, ‘twas sorrow bought it; Have I pow’r, or grace, or love, Have I wealth, ‘twas Jesus brought it Down to me from Heav’n above. [Refrain] 5 Hark! I hear mid ev’ry pleasure, Sounds of Calv’ry’s mournful night, And behold by ev’ry treasure, Calv’ry’s cross appears in sight. [Refrain] 6 Where then, where is room for boasting? In the sight of Calv’ry’s cross; In the blood alone I’m trusting, Counting earthly things but loss. [Refrain] Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: [What have I on earth to boast of]

I Am One of Them Today

Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: How I came to love these pilgrims Refrain First Line: I feel constrained to say Lyrics: 1 How I came to love these pilgrims, Is to me a great surprise; And the way the Lord has led me, Is a wonder in my eyes; No, I never thought I’d be one, But I’m happy now to say, That, although I used to hate them, I am one of them today! Refrain: I feel constrained to say, I love this narrow way; O glory, hallelujah, I am one of them today. 2 Well I knew the world despised them, So I said ‘twould never do; I would lose my reputation If I join that noisy crew; But I heard in Sinai’s thunder “You must surely go that way;” I am not ashamed to own it, I am one of them today. [Refrain] 3 Oft I sneered when they were telling That they felt no foe within, That the grace of their Redeemer Daily kept them free from sin; But conviction seized my spirit, Took my hatred all away; I have found this great salvation, And I’m one of them today. [Refrain] 4 It so shocked me that I could not All my indignation hide, When they said that God’s old Bible Never would endorse my pride;— Though high-headed, proud and haughty, Yet I heard the Spirit say, “Will you be a humble pilgrim?’ And I’m one of them today. [Refrain] 5 Once I thought that their demonstrations Were entirely out of place; That I never would consent to Bring upon me such disgrace; So I asked the Lord to bless me In a mild and careful way,— I broke through and got the glory, And I’m one of them today. [Refrain] 6 I’m so glad I ever found them, For they’ve led me to the right; And I mean to stay among them, Daily walking in the light; Then some day I’ll join their number Over on the golden shore; It is settled, hallelujah! I’m a pilgrim evermore. [Refrain]
