One Who Bore a Cross

Author: Jesse P. Tompkins Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #134 (1916) First Line: In a dream I saw a city Refrain First Line: O sacred head, so lowly bowed Lyrics: 1 In a dream I saw a city, A city long ago; I saw the thronging masses Go passing to and fro; They seemed like mighty billows That, restless, roll and toss, And 'mid them, meek and lowly, Was One who bore a cross. Chorus: O sacred head, so lowly bowed, Amid that wild and tossing crowd; To bend beneath that cross for me, (that cross for me,) That I might live (That I might live) eternally. 2 In my dram I saw a hillside, Beyond the city's gate; I watched the rushing people, some moved by bitter hate; But He who walked among them, That patient face, so true, Still onward pressed in sorrow, The Father's will to do. [Chorus] 3 In my dream I saw my Savior, With pierced hands and side; and from His heart, now broken, There flowed a crimson tide; No more the thronging people, For darkened was the sun, And earth in anguish trembled - The sacrifice was done. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [In a dream I saw a city]
