Author: Mattie B. Shannon Hymnal: Favorites Number 3 #22 (1951) First Line: When the cross that God my Father gives Refrain First Line: O I think of Christ my Savior Lyrics: 1 When the cross that God my Father gives So very heavy seems, And when I see the blighting, Find the ashes of my dreams; When the heart that beats within my breast, Is weary and cast down, And when the sun is shadowed, While the heavens seem to frown; Refrain: O I think of Christ my Saviour; And the cross on Calv’ry’s side, I think of what He bore for me, And am straightway satisfied. 2 When the treasures I have striven for Are slipping fast away; When evil tempts me sorely And so anxious is my day; When the fiery darts that Satan sends Are crowding thick and fast, And when youth’s hopes are shattered And lie dying in the blast; [Refrain] 3 When the cares and trials of this life Are pressing more and more; When death’s dark angel softly Spreads his wings above my door; When the paths that e’er my feet must tread So dark and dreary grow, And when my soul is heavy With a nameless pain and woe; [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the cross that God my Father gives]
