Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 2
Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eye it seems can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart with tears Two wonders I confess, The wonders of His glorious love, And my unworthiness.
Verse 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 or loss, My sinfull self my only shame, My glory all the cross.
