Cross of Christ

Author: D. T. Taylor Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #53 (1888) First Line: Cross of Christ, O sacred tree Refrain First Line: Cross of Christ, sacred tree Lyrics: 1. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Hide my sins, and shelter me; Claim or merit have I none, I am vile, and all undone; I to thee for succor fly; Give me refuge, or I die. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, All my hopes are hung on thee. Chorus: Cross of Christ, sacred tree; Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, All my hopes are hung on thee. 2. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Let me to thy shadow flee; Here they mock'd the crucified, Here the royal sufferer died; Here was shed th' atoning blood, Till it crimson'd all the sod. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Can the guilty trust in thee? [Chorus] 3. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Type of love's deep mystery; 'Twas my sins provok'd this love, I this matchless passion mov'd; For my soul this love was stor'd, On my head the blessing pour'd. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Now I solve love's mystery. [Chorus] 4. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, This my boast shall ever be; That the blood for me was shed, That for me He groan'd and bled; Now I catch that gracious eye, Now I know I shall not die. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, All my guilt is lost in thee. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Cross of Christ, O sacred tree]
