The Cross

Author: Lucy M. Lewis Meter: 7.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 First Line: Oh, the cross! the precious cross! Lyrics: 1 Oh, the cross! the precious cross! ’Twas there I counted all but loss; ’Twas there I gave my heart to God, ’Twas there He washed me in His blood, And spake the words, “Thy sins forgiv’n,” And filled my soul with peace from heav’n. 2 Oh, the cross! the precious cross! The only way for sinners lost, The only way that we can gain An entrance to this heav’nly plane; ’Twas there my night was turned to day, ’Twas there I found the heav’nly way. 3 Oh, the cross! the precious cross! ’Twas there I counted well the cost, ’Twas there my soul was sanctified, ’Tis there I ever will abide; ’Tis there we find the purest gold, And joys that never can be told. 4 Oh, the cross! the precious cross! To me this world is naught but dross, Far richer treasures now I own, While up the shining way I run; When in that heav’nly land I’ll see The One who bore the cross for me.

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 193 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride -- for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; and holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

And from my contrite heart, with tears, two wonders I confess: the wonder of his glorious love and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your 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.
