In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: Here at thy cross, my dying God Lyrics: 1 Here at thy cross, my dying God,
I lay my soul beneath thy love,
Beneath the droppings of thy blood,
Jesus, nor shall it e’er remove.
2 Not all that tyrants think or say,
With rage and lightning in their eyes,
Nor hell shall fright my heart away,
Should hell with all its legions rise.
3 Should worlds conspire to drive me thence,
Moveless and firm this heart shall lie;
Resolved (for that’s my last defence),
If I must perish, there to die.
4 But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear;
Am I not safe beneath thy shade?
Thy vengeance will not strike me here,
Nor Satan dares my soul invade.
5 Yes, I’m secure beneath thy blood,
And all my foes shall lose their aim;
Hosannah to my dying God,
And my best honours to his name! Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Languages: English
