Song Lyrics
[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 burns beneath the noontide heat And burdens of the day. [Verse 2] Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eyes 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. [Verse 3] O safe and happy shelter! O refuge tried and sweet! O sacred place where Heaven's love And Heaven's justice meet! As to the exiled patriarch That wondrous dream was given, So seems my Saviour's cross to me: A ladder up to Heav'n. [Verse 4] I take, O cross, your 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. [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 burns beneath the noontide heat And burdens of the day. [Verse 2] Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eyes 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. [Verse 3] O safe and happy shelter! O refuge tried and sweet! O sacred place where Heaven's love And Heaven's justice meet! As to the exiled patriarch That wondrous dream was given, So seems my Saviour's cross to me: A ladder up to Heav'n. [Verse 4] I take, O cross, your 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.
