Cross Of My Redeemer, The

On Calvary's distant mountain

The cross of faith I see,

Where once the Lord of glory

Was crucified for me.

Refrain

The cross of my Redeemer,

O may I still defend,

And through the grace He giveth

Be faithful to the end.

As on that cross extended,

He suffered, bled and died,

To sinful thoughts and pleasures

May I be crucified.

Refrain

He bore that cross with patience;

Through sorrow dark and sin,

He bids me now, believing,

Take up my cross for Him.

Refrain

Had I no foes to conquer

No cross on earth to bear,

A victor's crown of triumph,

I could not hope to wear.
