Beneath the Cross of Jesus

The United Methodist Hymnal Number 297
Text: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869
Music: Frederick C. Maker, 1844-1927
 
1. 
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.

2. 
Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my stricken heart with tears
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.

3. 
I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.

Life has its joys and sorrows too Sometimes the mists will hide our view If we would hope and strength renew There’s just one thing to do Chorus: Keep looking up, Thy God is still the same today Keep looking up He will not fail thee Come what may, keep looking up The darkest night will roll away So do not doubt, but keep on looking up So when your faith is sorely tried And earnest pray’rs have been denied Whene’er you need a faithful guideThere’s just one thing to do
