{{Vs|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. | |||
{{Vs|2}} O safe and happy shelter, | |||
O refuge tried and sweet, | |||
O trysting place where Heaven’s love | |||
And Heaven’s justice meet! | |||
As to the holy patriarch | |||
That wondrous dream was giv’n, | |||
So seems my Saviour’s cross to me, | |||
A ladder up to Heav’n. | |||
{{Vs|3}} There lies beneath its shadow | |||
But on the further side | |||
The darkness of an awful grave | |||
That gapes both deep and wide; | |||
And there between us stands the cross | |||
Two arms outstretched to save | |||
A watchman set to guard the way | |||
From that eternal grave. | |||

{{Vs|4}} Upon that cross of Jesus | |||
Mine eye at times can see | |||
The very dying form of One | |||
Who suffered there for me; | |||
And from my stricken heart with tears | |||
Two wonders I confess; | |||
The wonders of redeeming love | |||
And my unworthiness. | |||
{{Vs|5}} 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 or loss, | |||
My sinful self my only shame, | |||
My glory all the cross. | |||
