Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Lyrics ~ Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869
Music ~ Frederick C. Maker, 1844-1927
Stanza 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 noon day heat,
And the burden of the day.
Stanza 2:
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 smitten heart with tears
Two wonders I confess:
The wonders of His glorious love
And my own worthlessness.
Stanza 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.
