1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I bow with contrite heart,
While in His work most precious
I gladly take a part.

Refrain:
Oh, sacred cross of Jesus!
May I thy burdens love
Till Christ shall come in glory
To carry me above.

2 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I come for His command,
And lay upon His altar
My head, my heart, my hand. [Refrain]

3 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I march to do His will;
His promises, they cheer me
While I His laws fulfill. [Refrain]
