Verse 1

     D         D°7      D       A                  D
Be - neath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand
F#/C#
    Bm        (F/C Bm/D   B/D#) Em  Bm/F#
The shadow of a might - y rock with -
G
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
From the burning of the noontide heat and the burden
A7
of the
D
day

Verse 3

     D      D°7      D          A                 D
Up - on the cross of Jesus mine eyes at times can see
F#/C#
    Bm        (F/C Bm/D B/D#) Em Bm/F#
The very dy - ing form of One who
G
suffered there for
F#
me
    D                           D7         G       B
And from my smitten heart, with tears, two wonders I con -
Em
fess
    A7             D       D7/F# G  D/A
The wonder of re - deeming love and my un -
A7       D
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#
I ask no oth - er sun - shine than the
G
sunshine of
    F#
His face
      D                        D7     G       B
Con - tent to let the world go by, to know no gain nor
Em
loss
   A7              D    D7/F#  G  D/A    A7
My sinful self– my only shame, my glory– all the
D
cross

Verse 5

  D        D°7   D          A                D
O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet
F#/C#
  Bm             (F/C  Bm/D   B/D#) Em
O trysting place where heav - en's love
Bm/F# G
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
So seems my Saviour's cross to me a ladder up to
D
heav'n
