#183 Beneath The Cross Of Jesus
Verse 1
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand-
The shadow of a mighty rock
Within a weary land;


A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.

Verse 2
Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eyes at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;


And from my smitten heart with tears
These wonders I confess-
The wonder of His glorious love
And my unworthiness.
	
Verse 3
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;


Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.
