Verse 1

     D         D°7      D       A                  D     F#/C#
Be - neath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand 

    Bm        (F/C Bm/D   B/D#) Em  Bm/F#  G
The shadow of a might - y rock with - in a weary
F#
land
  D                        D7      G         B      Em
A home within the wilder - ness, a rest up - on the way 

         A7             D        D7/F# G      D/A    A7
From the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the
D
day

Verse 3

     D      D°7      D          A                 D   F#/C#
Up - on the cross of Jesus mine eyes at times can see  

    Bm        (F/C Bm/D B/D#) Em Bm/F# G
The very dy - ing form of One who suffered there for
F#
me
    D                           D7         G       B       Em
And from my smitten heart, with tears, two wonders I con - fess 

    A7             D       D7/F# G  D/A     A7       D
The wonder of re - deeming love and my un - worthi - ness

Verse 4

  D       D°7        D          A          D     F#/C#
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place 

  Bm           (F/C Bm/D B/D#) Em   Bm/F# G
I ask no oth - er sun - shine than the sunshine of
    F#
His face
      D                        D7     G       B        Em
Con - tent to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss 

   A7              D    D7/F#  G  D/A    A7      D
My sinful self– my only shame, my glory– all the cross

Verse 5

  D        D°7   D          A                D     F#/C#
O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet 

  Bm             (F/C  Bm/D   B/D#) Em  Bm/F# G
O trysting place where heav - en's love and heaven's
        F#
justice meet
   D                   D7        G        B         Em
As to the holy patri - arch that wondrous dream was giv'n 

   A7                 D        D7/F# G D/A   A7    D
So seems my Saviour's cross to me a ladder up to heav'n
