Till my trophies at last I lay down;

Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]

A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

It's shame and reproach gladly bear.
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share. [Refrain] Scripture: Philippians 3:14 Used With Tune: OLD RUGGED CROSS

On which the prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet?
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
3 Since I, who was undone and lost,
Have pardon thro' his name and word;
Forbid it, then, that I should boast,
Save in the cross of Christ, my Lord.
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a tribute far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my life, my soul, my all. Used With Tune: McCABE

In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,515 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Cross Lyrics: 1. In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime.

hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
never shall the cross forsake me.
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3. When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
from the cross the radiance streaming
adds more luster to the day.
4. Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.
5. In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime.

For man the creature's sin. (Refrain)

Here, Lord, I give my self away,
’Tis all that I can do! (Refrain) Used With Tune: [Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?]

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I long to take my stand;
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within a wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burdens of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus,
my eye at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me.
And from my contrite heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonder of his glorious love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your 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. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
