393. Beneath Thy Cross I Stand

1 Beneath Thy cross I stand
And view Thy marred face;
O Son of Man, must Thou thus die
To save a fallen race?

2 Alone thou bear'st the wrath
That should on sinners fall,
While from Thy holy wounds forth flows
A stream of life for all.

3 O Lamb of God so meek,
Beneath Thy cross I bow:
Heart-stricken all my sins confess--
O hear, forgive me now!

4 O Son of God, look down
In mercy now on me
And heal my wounds of sin and death
That I may live to Thee!

Amen.
