1096. The Cross of My Redeemer

1. On Calvary’s distant mountain
The cross of faith I see,
Where once the Lord of glory
Was crucified for me.

Refrain
The cross of my Redeemer,
O may I still defend,
And through the grace He giveth
Be faithful to the end.

2. As on that cross extended,
He suffered, bled and died,
To sinful thoughts and pleasures
May I be crucified. [Refrain]

3. He bore that cross with patience;
Through sorrow dark and sin,
He bids me now, believing,
Take up my cross for Him. [Refrain]

4. Had I no foes to conquer
No cross on earth to bear,
A victor’s crown of triumph,
I could not hope to wear. [Refrain]
