The Song Of The Cross
Author: Albert Beddoe; Olive Beddoe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14291 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Refrain First Line: Oh, sing them the song Lyrics: 1 The song of the cross
Is more sweet to my soul
Than the tone of an old violin,
For its message brought peace
Like the evening bell’s toll
As I groped in the darkness of sin.
Forgotten my past
As black as the night,
Forgotten the world and its dross—
And my soul thrilled with rapture,
And glory, and light,
When they sang me the song of the cross.
Refrain:
Oh, sing them the song,
The song of the cross,
They’ll count the world nothing but loss;
They’ll forsake all their sin,
And let Jesus come in,
If you’ll sing them a song of the cross.
2 Ah, once the world’s clamor,
And clatter and din
Discordantly flooded my soul,
But the song of the cross
Like a blessing crept in,
And I yielded to Jesus’ control.
I sing now of Christ who dispels every woe,
The hearts of lost sinners are stirred;
And I’ll sing the sweet message
Wherever I go,
Till all of the nations have heard. [Refrain]
3 The song of the cross
Tells of blood that was shed
On the summit of dark Calvary,
How Jesus the Nazarene
Suffered and bled
That lost mankind
From sin should be free.
It tells that the sinner
Who trusts in His name,
And rejects this old world with its dross,
May find full forgiveness
From Him who o’ercame
When He died for us all on the cross. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The song of the cross]
