Lord, day by day I view Thy wondrous Cross

Lord

day by day I view Thy wondrous Cross

On Calvary!

And day by day I stretch my hands thereon

And die with Thee.

I “glory in the Cross” most loving Lord

Because I know

It is the power to save and satisfy

Where’er I go.

The daily Cross becomes the deepest joy

For just beyond

The Cross

I clearly see how Cross and Crown

Do correspond.

Oh

gracious Lord

how sweet to take from Thee

The daily Cross!

And know that I can never separate

Its gain and loss.

The daily Cross is daily loss to all

That keeps from Thee;

The daily Cross is daily gain of all

Thou art for me.
