Beneath the Cross of Jesus Lyrics

Beneath the cross of Jesus

I long to take my stand

The shadow of a mighty rock

Within a weary land

A home within a wilderness

A rest upon the way

From the burning of the noontide heat

And the burdens of the day

Upon the cross of Jesus

My eye at times can see

The very dying form of one

Who suffered there for me

And from my contrite heart, with tears

Two wonders I confess

The wonder of his glorious love

And my unworthiness

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 nor loss

My sinful self my only shame

My glory all, the cross
