| 1 Back to the Cross I go again, So oft as I have sinned, To sing again the glad refrain, That Jesus is my Friend: Hard by the Cross, where not a soul Has ever been cast out, I prostrate fall, confessing all, And banish ev'ry doubt. 2 Back to the Cross my prayer and praise At early dawn I bring, And there His grace in joyful lays My heart in peace shall sing: Hard by the Cross at eventide, When all my work is done, Secure I hide in His cleft side My failures ev'ry one. 3 Back to the Cross, where open arms Receive my troubled heart, And where no harms or dire alarms, Their cares to me impart; Hard by the Cross let me recline, And rest, O Christ, on this: That Thou art mine and I am Thine-- Thy will is, me to bless. 4 Back to the Cross in haste I go With each returning day: For well I know, His blood doth flow To wash my sin away: Hard by the Cross each day I rest, And learn at Jesus' feet My King's behest,--till with the blest In their sweet home I meet. | Evangelical Lutheran hymnal: with music #477 (1908) American Lutheran Hymnal #186 (1930) |
