Down at the Cross

Representative Text

1 Down at the cross where my Savior died,
down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
there to my heart was the blood applied.
Glory to His name!

Refrain:
Glory to His name!
Glory to His name!
There to my heart was the blood applied.
Glory to His name!

2 I am so wondrously saved from sin;
Jesus so sweetly abides within.
There at the cross where He took me in-
Glory to His name! [Refrain]

3 O precious fountain that saves from sin!
I am so glad that I entered in!
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean.
Glory to His name! [Refrain]

4 Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
cast thy poor soul at the Savior's feet;
plunge in today and be made complete.
Glory to His name! [Refrain]
