Songs: The Cross

Song: At the Cross
At the cross, at the cross
where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away.
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

Song: The Old Rugged Cross
1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best,
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

2. In the old rugged cross, stained with
blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered
and died, To pardon and sanctify me.
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Song: Near the Cross

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There's a precious fountain,
Free to all a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.
Chorus:
In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever;
Till, my raptured soul shall find, Rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows over me.
Chorus:
In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever;
Till, my raptured soul shall find, Rest beyond the river.
