Oh, The Cross! The Precious Cross!
‘Twas There I Counted All But Loss;
‘Twas There I Gave My Heart To God,
‘Twas There He Washed Me In His Blood,
And Spake The Words, “Thy Sins Forgiven,”
And Filled My Soul With Peace From Heaven.
Oh, The Cross! The Precious Cross!
The Only Way For Sinners Lost,
The Only Way That We Can Gain
An Entrance To This Heavenly Plane;
‘Twas There My Night Was Turned To Day,
‘Twas There I Found The Heavenly Way.
Oh, The Cross! The Precious Cross!
‘Twas There I Counted Well The Cost,
‘Twas There My Soul Was Sanctified,
‘Tis There I Ever Will Abide;
‘Tis There We Find The Purest Gold,
And Joys That Never Can Be Told.
Oh, The Cross! The Precious Cross!
To Me This World Is Naught But Dross,
Far Richer Treasures Now I Own,
While Up The Shining Way I Run;
When In That Heavenly Land I’ll See
The One Who Bore The Cross For Me.
