1st Verse

C Cmaj7

Beneath the cross of Jesus,

F G C

I fain would take my stand,

Am

The shadow of a mighty rock

F E E7

within a weary land;

C Cmaj7 C7A home within the wilderness,

F Dma rest upon the way,

G C FFrom the burning of the noontide heat,

C G Cand the burden of the day.

2nd verse

C Cmaj7

Upon the cross of Jesus,

F G C

mine eyes at times can see

Am

The very dying form of One

F E E7

Who suffered there for me;

C Cmaj7 C7And from my stricken heart with tears

F DmTwo wonders I confess G C F

The wonders of redeeming love C G C

and my unworthiness

3rd verse

C Cmaj7I take, O cross, thy shadow

F G Cfor my abiding place:

AmI ask no other sunshine

F E E7than the sunshine of His face;

C Cmaj7 C7Content to let the world go by

F Dmto know no gain or loss,

G C FMy sinful self my only shame,

C G Cmy glory, all the cross.
