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 noon- tide heat, and the burden of the day.

O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet,

O trysting- place where Heaven's love, and Heaven's justice meet!

As to the holy Patriarch that wondrous dream was given,

So seems my Saviour's Cross, to me, a ladder up to Heaven.

5 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 lossMy sinful self, my only shame, my glory all the Cross.

3 There lies beneath its shadow, but on the further side,

The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide; And there between us stands the Cross, two Arms out- stretched to save, Like a watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave. 4 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 confess­The wonders of His glorious love, and my own worthlessness.

Amen.
