303 Beneath the Cross of Jesus
[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.

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

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 redeeming love
And my unworthiness.

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.
