Author: Avis M. Christiansen Hymnal: Favorites Number 2 #67 (1946) Lyrics: 1 In the shadow of the Cross
I have found a safe retreat;
On the Rock of all the ages I am grounded;
And tho’ storms of sin and doubt
Daily threaten from without,
Safe am I, by Jesus' arms of love surrounded.
Refrain:
In the shadow of the Cross!
In the shadow of the Cross!
I am resting in the shadow of the Cross.
Jesus' saving pow'r shall be
My one theme eternally,
For I'm resting in the shadow of the Cross.
2 In the shadow of the Cross
I have found the peace I sought
For a soul by sin's deceptive wiles confounded;
Thro’ the blood on Calv'ry spilt,
I have pardon for my guilt,
Safe am I, by Jesus' arms of love surrounded. [Refrain]
3 In the shadow of the Cross—
I have sweet communion there
With the One on whom my hopes and joys are founded.
Oh, the wonders of His grace
I have learned in this dear place,
By His arms, His blessed arms of love surrounded! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the shadow of the Cross]
