Light and Life ‎#31

31. 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.
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory, glory, glory to his name.

2 I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within,
Saves me each moment, and keeps me clean;
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,
Humble thy soul at the Saviour's feet,
Plunge in today and be made complete;
Glory glory, glory to his name. [Chorus]
