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. 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. 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. 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.
