Author: R. Kelso Carter Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 2 #139 (1896) Hymnal Title: Crowning Day No. 2 First Line: O Jesus, Lord, thy dying love Refrain First Line: At the cross, at the cross Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lord, thy dying love
Hath pierced my contrite heart;
Now take my life, and let me prove
How dear to me thou art.
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart roll’d away,
It was there by faith I receiv’d my sight,
And now I am happy night and day.
2 Amid the night of sin and death
Thy light hath filled my soul;
To me Thy loving voice now saith,
Thy faith hath made thee whole. [Refrain]
3 I kiss Thy feet, I clasp Thy hand,
I touch Thy bleeding side;
O let me here forever stand,
Where thou wast crucified. [Refrain]
4 My Lord, my light, my strength, my all,
I count my gain but loss;
Forever let Thy love enthrall,
And keep me at the cross. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O Jesus, Lord, thy dying love]
At the Cross
