Joy to the World ‎#34

34. Down at the Cross

1 Down at the Cross where the Saviour died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied,
Glory, glory, glory to his name.

Chorus:
Down at the Cross, down at the Cross,
Down at the Cross where the Saviour died,
Down at the Cross was the blood applied,
Glory, glory, glory to his name.

2 I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within,
There at the Cross where he took me in,
Glory, glory, glory to his name. [Chorus]

3 Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in,
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean,
Glory, glory, glory to his name. [Chorus]

4 Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Saviour's feet,
Plunge in to-day and be made complete,
Glory, glory, glory to his name. [Chorus]
