I bowed, and mercy sought;
Salvation soon was mine thro’ grace,
With peace and pardon fraught.
Chorus:
O wondrous Cross! Its triumph see,
Where waves of glory roll;
The starting-point of precious faith,
Eternal bliss its goal.
2 Behind the Cross I hide me now,
That Jesus might appear;
Himself, not I; His love, not mine;
The witness I would bear. [Chorus]
3 Beyond the Cross, where faith beholds,
The rainbow-circled throne,
I soon shall be, and there in bliss
His love, who saved me, own. [Chorus]
