Author: Wm. McDonald Hymnal: Songs of Christian Service #132 (1903) First Line: I am coming to the cross, I am poor Refrain First Line: Down at the cross I lay my sin Lyrics: 1 I am coming to the cross,
I am poor and weak and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find.
Refrain:
Down at the cross I lay my sins,
There at the cross they lie;
Down at the cross I lay my sins,
There at the cross I’ll die.
2 Long my heart has sighed for Thee,
Long has evil reigned within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me;
“I will cleanse you from all sin.” [Refrain]
3 Here I give my all to thee,
Friends, and time, and earthly store,
Soul and body Thine to be—
Wholly thine forevermore. [Refrain]
4 In the promises I trust,
In the cleansing blood confide;
I am prostrate in the dust,
I with Christ am crucified. [Refrain]
5 Jesus comes, he fills my soul,
Perfected in love I am,
I am every whit made whole:
Glory, glory to the Lamb! [Refrain] Tune Title: [I am coming to the cross, I am poor]
Down at the Cross
