Author: Michael Saward (born 1932) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #548 (1987) Meter: 6.6.11 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the cross of shame, set my cold heart aflame with love for you, my saviour and my master; who on that lonely day bore all my sins away, and saved me from the judgement and disaster. 2 Lord of the empty tomb, born of a virgin's womb, triumphant over death, its power defeated; how gladly now I sing your praise, my risen king, and worship you, in heaven's splendour seated. 3 Lord of my life today, teach me to live and pray as one who knows the joy of sins forgiven; so may I ever be, now and eternally, one with my fellow-citizens in heaven.
