Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #177 (1961) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,-
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me:
And from my stricken heart with tears
Two wonders I confess,-
The wonders of redeeming love
And my own worthlessness.
3 I take, O cross, thy 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.
