On the cross the Savior's blood

1 On the cross the Savior's blood
Flowed for our salvation,
Streaming forth, a healing tide,
Unto every nation.

Chorus:
"God forbid! God forbid
I should ever glory
Saving in the cross of Christ,"
Cross of sacred story.

2 On the cross the Savior paid
All that I was owing,
Thanks for such a priceless gift
In my heart are glowing.

3 On the cross the Savior spoke
Many sins forgiven,
Then the pardoned sinner bore
With him into heaven.

4 Precious Savior, blessed cross!
Always keep before me;
All along the path of life,
Throw thy shadow o'er me.
