Oppressed by noonday’s scorching heat,
To yonder Cross I flee,
Beneath its shelter take my seat—
No shade like this to me!
Beneath that Cross clear waters burst,
A fountain sparkling free,
And there I quench my desert thirst—
No spring like this to me!
For burdened ones a resting place
Beside that Cross I see;
I here cast off my weariness—
No rest like this for me!
A stranger here, I pitch my tent
Beneath this spreading tree;
Here shall my pilgrim life be spent—
No home like this for me!
---Alternative verses---
Oppressed with noonday’s scorching heat,
To yonder Cross I flee,
Beneath its shelter take my seat—
No shade like this to me!
