I Saw the Cross of Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:20 Lyrics: 1 I saw the cross of Jesus When burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus To give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God. 2 I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am-- A vile and guilty creature, Saved only through the Lamb; No righteousness nor merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the cross I glory, My title there I read. 3 I trust the cross of Jesus, In every trying hour, My sure and certain refuge, My never-failing tow'r, In every fear and conflict I more than conquerer am; Living I'm safe, or dying, Thro' Christ, the risen Lamb. 4 Safe in the cross of Jesus! There let my weary heart Still rest in peace unshaken Till with Him, ne'er to part; And then in strains of glory I'll sing His wondrous pow'r, Where sin can never enter, And death is known no more.

Valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!
