Resting at the Cross

Author: W. J. K. Hymnal: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #115 (1897) First Line: To the cross of Christ, my Saviour Refrain First Line: Glory, glory be to Jesus Lyrics: 1 To the cross of Christ, my Saviour, I had brought my weary soul, Burden’d, faint, and broken-hearted, Praying, “Jesus, make me whole.” Refrain: Glory, glory be to Jesus, I am counting all but dross, I have found a full salvation, I am resting at the cross; I’m resting at the cross, I’m resting at the cross, I’m resting at the cross. 2 At the cross, while meekly bowing, Jesus, smiling, bade me live; “I have died for your transgressions, And I freely all forgive.” [Refrain] 3 At the cross, while prostrate lying, Jesus’ blood flow’d o’er my soul; All my guilt and sin were covered, And he whisper’d, “Child, be whole.” [Refrain] 4 At the cross I’m calmly resting, Ev’ry moment now is sweet; I am tasting of his glory, I am resting at his feet. [Refrain] Tune Title: [To the cross of Christ, my Saviour]

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
