There’s a Blessing at the Cross for Me

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1882
Composer: John Sweney

I have laid my bur­den down

Where the crim­son wa­ters flow

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;

I have found a spring of joy

That the world can nev­er know

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

Praise the Lord! praise the Lord!

Hallelujah!

Still my hap­py

hap­py song shall be;

I have found a spring of joy

That the world can nev­er know

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

I have laid my bur­den down

And my trou­bled heart is still

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;

I am learn­ing there by faith

My Re­deem­er’s gra­cious will

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

I have laid my bur­den down:

Oh

the peace that fills my soul!

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;

I was dead

but now I live

Since my Sav­ior made me whole

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.

I have laid my bur­den down

And my Sav­ior gives me rest

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me;

I can pil­low now my head

On His gen­tle

lov­ing breast

There’s a bless­ing at the cross for me.
