   C           Cdim7      C
1  Beneath the cross  of  Jesus
2  Upon  that  cross  of  Jesus,
3  I take,  O  cross, thy shadow
 
        Gsus       G7        C     E/G#
1  I    fain would take my   stand,
2  Mine eye   at   times can see
3  For  my   a  -  biding    place;
 
       Am         G/B C6   A/C# Dm
1  The shadow of  a   migh-ty   rock
2  The very  dy - ing form of    One
3  I   ask no oth-er  sun -shine than
 
   C/E  F6       F7        E
1  With-in   a   weary     land,
2  Who  suffered there for me;
3  The  sunshine of His    face;
 
       Am              Am/G
1  A   home within the wilderness,
2  And from my smitten heart, with tears
3  Con-tent to let the world go by,
 
       F       A/C#     Dm  Dm/C
1  A   rest up-on the   way,
2  Two wonders I con  - fess;
3  To  know no gain nor loss,
 
            G       G/F     C/E      C/F
1  From the burning of the  noontide heat,
2  The      wonders of His  glorious love,
3  My       sinful  self my only     shame,
 
   F       C/G    G6    G7  C
1  And the burden of    the day.
2  And     my  un-worth-i - ness.
3  My      glory  all   the cross!
