Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a might - y Rock
With - in a wea - ry land;
A home with - in the wil - der - ness,
A rest up - on the way
From the burning of the noontide heat
And the burden of the day.
verse 2
Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dy - ing form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart, with tears,
The wonders of His Glorious love
And my un ? worthi - ness.
verse 3
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my a ? bid ? ing place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Con ? tent to let the world go by,
To know no gain or loss,
My sinful self - my on ? ly shame,
My glory - all the cross.
