Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #146 (2011) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Lyrics: 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. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my stricken heart with tears Two wonders I confess: The wonders of his redeeming love And my unworthiness. 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 nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross. Scripture: Matthew 27:36 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest Friend, for this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever! And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never, outlive my love for Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me! And, for my succor flying, come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, from Thee shall never move; for he who dies believing dies safely in Thy love.

And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do. Tune Title: HORSLEY
