Verse 1

I saw the cross of Jesus, when burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus, to give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; and in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God.

Verse 2

I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am - a vile and guilty creature, saved only through the Lamb; no righteousness nor merit, no beauty can I plead; yet in the cross I glory, my title there I read.

Verse 3

I trust the cross of Jesus, in every trying hour, my sure and certain refuge, my never-failing tower; in every fear and conflict, I more than conqueror am; living, I'm safe, or dying, through Christ, the risen Lamb.

Verse 4

Safe in the cross of Jesus! There let my weary heart still rest in peace unshaken, till with Him, ne'er to part; and then in strains of glory I'll sing His wondrous power, where sin can never enter, and death is known no more.
