Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: Christ Atonement, Crucifixion, 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 There lies beneath its shadow,
But on the farther side,
The darkness of an awful grave
That gapes both deep and wide;
And there between us stands the cross,
Two arms outstretched to save,
Like a watch-man set to guard the way
From that eternal grave.
3 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,
These wonders I confess:
The wonder of His glorious love
And my unworthiness.
4 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. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
There Is a Fountain
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2,473 hymnals Topics: Christ Atonement, Crucifixion, Suffering and Death First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day,
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save:
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save,
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save. Used With Tune: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Bernard of Clairvaux; James W. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 725 hymnals Topics: Christ Atonement, Crucifixion, Suffering and Death Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down;
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thine only crown.
How pale Thou art with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn;
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain:
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior;
'Tis I deserve Thy place.
Look on me with Thy favor;
Assist me with 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 to Thee. Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
2 Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood -
Sealed my pardon with His blood;
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
3 Guilty, vile and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! can it be?
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
4 Lifted up was He to die,
"It is finished," was His cry;
Now in heav'n exalted high:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
5 When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing,
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Used With Tune: MAN OF SORROWS

2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
Beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
3 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great "I AM";
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.

I'll sing and joyful be;
And thro' eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
And thro' eternity I'll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American Folk Hymn
