In the Shadow of the Cross

Verse 1

In the shadow of the cross let me hide, There the Savior for my sins bled and died; There the precious, cleansing fount Flows so free from Calv’ry’s mount, In the shadow of the cross let me hide.

Chorus

In the shadow of the cross I will rest, For with everlasting peace I am blest; Here I dwell in love unknown, Streaming down from heaven’s throne, In the shadow of the cross I will rest.

Verse 2

In the shadow of the cross, blessed place! Living only for the Lord, by His grace; What He says I’ll gladly do, Ever standing firm and true, In the shadow of the cross, blessed place!

Verse 3

In the shadow of the cross, safe retreat, Ever sitting lowly at Jesus’ feet; While His presence is so near I shall never, never fear, In the shadow of the cross, safe retreat.

Verse 4

In the shadow of the cross, here I meet, In communion with my Lord, oh, how sweet! And my soul is borne above, While I revel in His love, In the shadow of the cross, here I meet!
