I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face,
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain or loss,
My sinful self my only shame
My glory is the cross.
Upon that cross of Jesus
My eyes at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me:
And from my smitten heart, with tears,
To wonders I confess
The wonders of His glorious love
And my unworthiness.
Be-neath the cross of Je-sus,
I fain would take my stand,
In the Shad-ow of a might-y Rock
With-in His safety band
Someday I 'll met my Jesus
And see His nail pierced hands
With arms extended wide He'll say
Welcome home my friend.
