Down At The Cross. Down at the cross where my Savior died, down where for cleansing from sin I cried, there to my heart was the blood applied; glory to his name. Glory to his name, Glory to his name: There to my heart was the blood applied; glory to his name.

Down at the cross where my Savior died, down where for cleansing from sin I cried, there to my heart was the blood applied; glory to his name.
Glory to his name, Glory to his name: There to my heart was the blood applied; glory to his name
Come to the fountain so rich and sweet, cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet; plunge in today and be made complete; glory to his name
Glory to his name, Glory to his name: There to my heart was the blood applied; glory to his name
