Lyrics to the hymn, Beneath The Cross Of Jesus

A pretty lake



Introduction


Hello. I am a Mother of Gooses and a lover of hymns; I consider them to be a work of art. And they bring glory to God, our Creator and Redeemer, and Friend. 

Some trees and a field


The Subject At Hand


Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Beneath The Cross Of Jesus; it was written by Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane in 1868, and is now published in 530 hymnals.

I'll leave some links down below if you don't know how the tune goes.

The Lyrics



Verse 1 

Beneath the cross of Jesus 

I fain would take my stand,

The shadow of a mighty Rock

Within a weary land;

A home within the wilderness,

A rest upon the way,

From the burning of the noontide heat,

And the burden of the day.

Verse 2 

Oh, safe and happy shelter!

Oh, refuge tried and sweet!

Oh, trysting place where Heaven's love 

And Heaven's justice meet.

As to the holy patriarch 

That wondrous dream was given,

So is my Savior by the cross

A ladder up to Heaven.

Verse 3 

There lies beneath its shadow,

But on the farther side,

The darkness of an awful grave

That gapes both deep and wide;

And there between us stands the cross,

Two arms outstretched to save,

Like a watchman set to guard the way

From that eternal grave.

Verse 4

Upon that cross of Jesus 

Mine eye at times can see

The very dying form of One,

Who suffered there for me;

And from my smitten heart, with tears,

Two wonders I confess:

The wonders of His glorious love,

And my own worthlessness. 

Verse 5 

I take, O cross, thy shadow

For my abiding place;

I ask no other sunshine than 

The sunshine of His face;

Content to let the world go by,

To know no gain nor loss,

My sinful self my only shame,

My glory all the cross.

A tree with flowers underneath it.❤️


Afterwards


"My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross."

I love that line.

Thank you, Lord, for Your sacrifice.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...

Or do you want a change from the regular buttercreams?

Trust me, you don't want flour lumps.* *I will mention this again later*                                                           ...
