Beneath the Cross of Jesus Words by Elizabeth C. Clephane Music by Frederick C. Maker Words and Music public domain 696
Beneath the cross of JesusI fain would take my standThe shadow of a mighty rockWithin a weary land
A home within the wildernessA rest upon the wayFrom the burning of the noontide heatAnd the burden of the day
Upon that cross of JesusMine eye at times can seeThe very dying form of OneWho suffered there for me
And from my smitten heart with tearsTwo wonders I confessThe wonders of His glorious loveAnd my unworthiness
I take, O Cross, thy shadowFor my abiding placeI ask no other sunshine thanThe sunshine of His face
Content to let the world go byTo know no gain or lossMy sinful self—my only shameMy glory—all the cross
