The cross! the cross! oh that’s my gain.
Because on that the Lamb was slain;
‘Twas there my Lord was crucified,
‘Twas there my Saviour for me died.
What wondrous cause could move thy heart,
To take on thee my curse and smart;
Well knowing that my souls would be
So cold, so negligent of thee?
The cause was love, I sink with shame
Before my sacred Saviour’s name;
That thou should’st bleed and slaughter’d be,
Because, because thou loved’st me.
