Our spirits strengthen with your grace, And give us joy to see your face. Scripture: Exodus 19:20 Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: Lenten Hymns Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to 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 burdens of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus My eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my stricken heart with tears Two wonders I confess,-- The wonder of redeeming love, And my own worthlessness. 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.
