Beneath the Cross of Jesus (Herr)

Beneath the cross of Je­sus

I bow with con­trite heart

While in His work most pre­cious

I glad­ly take a part.

Oh

sac­red cross of Je­sus!

May I thy bur­dens love

Till Christ shall come in glo­ry

To car­ry me above.

Beneath the cross of Je­sus

I come for His com­mand

And lay up­on His al­tar

My head

my heart

my hand.

Beneath the cross of Je­sus

I march to do His will;

His pro­mis­es

they cheer me

While I His laws ful­fill.
