The Hallowed Cross

The Cross! the Cross! that blood-stained Cross!

The hal­lowed Cross I see!

Reminding me of pre­cious blood

That once was shed for me.

Oh

the blood! the pre­cious blood!

That Je­sus shed for me

Upon the Cross in crim­son flood

Just now by faith I see.

That Cross! that Cross! that hea­vy Cross

My Sav­ior bore for me

Which bowed Him to the earth with grief

On sad Mount Cal­va­ry.

The crown! the crown! the glo­ri­ous crown!

The crown of vic­to­ry!

The crown of life! It shall be mine

When I shall Je­sus see.

My tears

un­bid­den

seem to flow

For love

un­bound­ed love

Which guides me thro’ this world of woe

And points to joys ab­ove.
