Beneath
the Cross of Jesus
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
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
smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess
The wonders
of His glorious love and my unworthiness
I take, O cross,
thy shadow for by abiding place
I ask no other
sunshine than the sunshine of his face
Content to
let the world go by, to know no gain or nor loss
My sinful
self, my only shame, my glory all the cross

Natal e Ano Novo
