- 1I 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 JesusI found my peace with God.
- 2I love the cross of Jesus,It tells me what I amA vile and guilty creature,Saved only thru the Lamb;No righteousness nor merit,No beauty can I plead;Yet in the cross of glory,My title there I read.
- 3I trust the cross of Jesus, in ev’ry trying hour,My sure and certain refuge,My never failing tow’r;In ev’ry fear and conflict,I more than conqueror am;Living, I’m safe, or dying, thru Christ, the risen Lamb.
- 4Safe in the cross of Jesus!There let my weary heartStill rest in peace unshaken,Till with Him, ne’er to part;And then in strains of gloryI’ll sing His wondrous pow’r,Where sin can never enter, and death is known no more.
