Down at the Cross

Representative Text

1 Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!

Refrain:
Glory to his name,
Glory to his name;
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!

2 I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where he took me in;
Glory to his name! [Refrain]

3 Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to his name! [Refrain]

4 Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to his name! [Refrain]

1 Junto a la cruz do murió el Salvador,
por mis pecados clamaba al Señor.
¡Qué maravilla, Jesús me salvó!
¡A su nombre gloria!

Estribillo:
¡A su nombre gloria!
¡A su nombre gloria!
¡Qué maravilla, Jesús me salvó!
¡A su nombre gloria!

2 Junto a la cruz recibí el perdón,
limpio en su sangre está mi corazón;
allí en la cruz el Señor me acogió.
¡A su nombre gloria! [Estribillo]

3 Junto a la cruz hay un manantial
de agua de vida, cual puro cristal;
allí Jesús me limpió de mal.
¡A su nombre gloria!

4 Ven sin tardar a la cruz, pecador;
allí te espera del buen Salvador;
allí de Dios hallarás el amor.
¡A su nombre gloria! [Estribillo]
