The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1237

1237. I'm kneeling at the cross

1 I'm kneeling at the cross,
The cross of Calvary;
All earthly gain is loss
That hideth this from me.

Chorus:
Kneeling, humbly kneeling;
Jesus hears me pray;
And now, his love revealing,
He takes my guilt away.

2 O sweetest hour of day!
O dearest hour of night!
When kneeling, thus I pray,
"Direct me, Lord, aright." [Chorus]

3 His mercy is my plea,
No hope in self have I;
His blood was shed for me,
This is my only cry. [Chorus]

4 When most I feel my need,
Then greatest strength is mine;
And often as I plead
I feel his touch divine. [Chorus]
