Tune: STAUROS

Representative Text

1 The cross! the cross! oh, that's our gain,
Because on that the Lamb was slain:
'Twas there the Lord was crucified,
'Twas there for us the Saviour died.

2 What wondrous cause could move Thy heart,
To take on Thee our curse and smart,
Well knowing we should ever be
So cold, so negligent of Thee?

3 The cause was love--we sink with shame
Before our blessed Jesu's name,
That He should bleed and suffer thus,
Because He loved and pitied us.
