Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Hymnal: Voices United #135 (1996) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Cross 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 the cross of Jesus
my eyes 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 wonder of his glorious love,
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST CHRISTOPHER

where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away;

He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]

And shut its glories in,
When Christ, the mighty maker, died
For his own creature's sin. [Refrain]

While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]

The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do. [Refrain]

On which the Prince of glory died,

All the vain things that charm me most–
I sacrifice them to his blood.

Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

my Saviour’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be.
O who am I
that for my sake
my Lord should take frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
salvation to bestow,
but people scorned, and none the longed-for Christ would know.
But O my Friend,
my Friend indeed,
who at my need his life did spend.
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death they thirst and cry.
4 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine!
This is my friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend. Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

3 I my Master have denied,
I afresh have crucified,
oft profaned his hallowed name,
put him to an open shame,
put him to an open shame.
4 There for me the Savior stands,
shows his wounds and spreads his hands.
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps and loves me still,
Jesus weeps and loves me still.
5 Now incline me to repent,
let me now my sins lament,
now my foul revolt deplore,
weep, believe, and sin no more,
weep, believe, and sin no more. Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: GOTTES ZEIT

I Saw the Cross of Jesus
Author: Frederick Whitfield Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #167 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ-Cross Lyrics: 1 I saw the cross of Jesus,
when burdened with my sin;
I sought the cross of Jesus,
to give me peace within;
I brought my soul to Jesus,
He cleansed it in His blood;
and in the cross of Jesus
I found my peace with God.
2 I love the cross of Jesus,
It tells me what I am -
a vile and guilty creature,
saved only through the Lamb;
no righteousness nor merit,
no beauty can I plead;
yet in the cross I glory,
my title there I read.
3 I trust the cross of Jesus,
in every trying hour,
my sure and certain refuge,
my never-failing tower;
in every fear and conflict,
I more than conqueror am;
living, I'm safe, or dying,
through Christ, the risen Lamb.
4 Safe in the cross of Jesus!
There let my weary heart
still rest in peace unshaken,
till with Him, ne'er to part;
and then in strains of glory
I'll sing His wondrous power,
where sin can never enter,
and death is known no more. Languages: English Tune Title: WHITFIELD

God Is Unique And One
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #277 (1996) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Cross Lyrics: 1 God is unique and one:
Maker, Sustainer, Lord!
Patterns of life were spun
by that creative word.
Of God's intention, love and care
we are with growing trust aware.
2 Love came to earth in Christ,
our common life to share,
choosing to be the least,
willing a cross to bear.
He died, he rose, that we might live
and all our love, responding, give.
3 The Holy Spirit moves
people to trace God's plan;
such inspiration proves
more than the mind can span.
Each listening heart is led to find
the will of God for humankind.
4 God shall forever reign,
ruler of time and space;
there, in the midst of life,
seen in the human face.
We give expression to our creed
by love in thought, in word and deed. Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD
