Beneath the Cross
Author: T. G. Colfax Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Beneath the cross of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
My soul bowed down with sin;
‘Twas there the Savior found me,
And there He took me in.
Beneath the cross, the blessed cross,
Where Jesus bled and died,
My soul has found a refuge sweet,
And there will I abide.
2 Beneath the cross of Jesus
My sins were washed away;
My garments died in crimson,
Where changed to white array.
There ‘neath the cross, the blessed cross,
I found the healing balm;
For ev’ry woe and ill of life,
In tempest or in calm.
3 Beneath the cross of Jesus
There’s healing now for thee;
The Savior longs, in mercy,
To cleanse and set you free.
‘Twas at the cross the Savior paid
Your ransom from the fall;
So cast your trophies at His feet
And crown Him lord of all. Used With Tune: [Beneath the cross of Jesus]

Grant Colfax Tullar
1869 - 1950 Person Name: T. G. Colfax Author of "Beneath the Cross" in Honey Out of the Rock Grant Colfax Tullar was born August 5, 1869, in Bolton, Connecticut. He was named after the American President Ulysses S. Grant and Vice President Schuyler Colfax. After the American Civil War, his father was disabled and unable to work, having been wounded in the Battle of Antietam. Tullar's mother died when he was just two years old so Grant had no settled home life until he became an adult. Yet from a life of sorrow and hardship he went on to bring joy to millions of Americans with his songs and poetry.
As a child, he received virtually no education or religious training. He worked in a woolen mill and as a shoe clerk. The last Methodist camp meeting in Bolton was in 1847. Tullar became a Methodist at age 19 at a camp meeting near Waterbury in 1888.
He then attended the Hackettstown Academy in New Jersey. He became an ordained Methodist minister and pastored for a short time in Dover, Delaware. For 10 years he was the song leader for evangelist Major George A. Hilton. Even so, in 1893 he also helped found the well-known Tullar-Meredith Publishing Company in New York, which produced church and Sunday school music. Tullar composed many popular hymns and hymnals.
His works include: Sunday School Hymns No. 1 (Chicago, Illinois: Tullar Meredith Co., 1903) and The Bible School Hymnal (New York: Tullar Meredith Co., 1907). One of Grant Tullar's most quoted poems is "The Weaver":
My Life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the under side.
Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
He knows, He loves, He cares,
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives His very best to those
Who chose to walk with Him.
