Beneath the Cross of Jesus Kneeling
Author: H. Petursson, 1614-74 ; C. V. Pilcher, 1879-1960 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #288 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus kneeling
Dawns on my soul the endless day;
There, deeper than all tides of feeling,
Doth God His boundless grace display;
Thence flow the mystic heaing waves;
There all my stains the Savior laves.
2 God wrought for man, His love forth-showing,
When Moses smote the rock of old;
And, lo, through Israel's camp on-flowing,
Broke forth the longed-for flood, and rolled,
New strength, new joy, new life bestowed,
On lips that quaffed it, pure and cold.
3 God wrought for man, mankind redeeming,
When Christ was pierc'd by Roman spear,
And, o'er the thirsty world down-streaming,
Forth gushed a fountain, cool and clear,
Till souls, those blessed waters near,
Forgot in joy sin's desert drear.
4 Beside that well for aye abiding,
New strength, new joy, new life I gain;
Within that cleft securely hiding,
No care can harm, no sorrow stain;
Here rests the blissful soul serene,
Here faith the healing draft can glean.
5 Lord, let my heart, this gift receiving,
Sing one glad anthem to Thy praise;
And may the stream, Thy pierc'd heart leaving,
Refresh and heal me all my days:
Thus by Thy blood my life restored,
Eternal thans to Thee, O Lord. Topics: Passion of Christ Languages: English
Beneath the Cross of Jesus Kneeling
THERE SHALL BE A FOUNTAIN OPENED FOR SIN AND FOR UNCLEANNESS
Author: Hallgrim Petursson; Charles Venn Pilcher Hymnal: Passion-Hymns of Iceland, The #11 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 First Line: Beneath the Cross of Jesus kneeling Lyrics:
Beneath the Cross of Jesus kneeling,
Dawns on my soul the endless day;
There, deeper than all tides of feeling,
Doth God His boundless grace display;
Thence flow the mystic waves of healing;
There all my stains are washed away.
God wrought for man, His love forth-shewing,
When Moses smote the rock of old;
And, lo, through Israel's camp on-flowing,
Out brake the longed-for flood, and rolled,
New strength, new joy, new life bestowing,
On lips that quaffed it, pure and cold.
God wrought for man, mankind redeeming,
When Christ was pierced by Roman spear,
And, o'er the thirsty world down-streaming,
Forth gushed a fountain, cool and clear,
Till souls, beside those waters gleaming,
Forgot in joy sin's desert drear.
Beside that well for aye abiding,
New strength, new joy, new life I gain;
Within that cleft securely hiding,
No care can cark, no sorrow stain;
Here rests the blissful soul confiding,
Here faith the healing draught can drain.
Lord, let my heart, this gift receiving,
Beat one glad anthem to Thy praise;
And may the stream, Thy pierced heart leaving
Refresh and heal me all my days:
Thus by Thy blood my life retrieving,
A psalm of endless thanks I'll raise.
