Cross Of Christ

Author: Daniel T. Taylor Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Cross of Christ, O sacred tree Lyrics: 1 Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Hide my sins and shelter me; Claim or merit I have none, I am vile and all undone; I to Thee for succor fly— Give me refuge, or I die. Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, All my hopes are hung on thee. 2 Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Let me to thy shadow flee; Here they mocked the Crucified, Here the royal sufferer died; Here was shed the atoning blood, Till it crimsoned all the sod; Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Can the guilty trust in thee? 3 Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Type of love’s deep mystery. ’Twas my sins provoked this love, I this matchless passion moved; For my soul this love was stored; On my head the blessing poured; Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, Now I solve love’s mystery. 4 Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, This my boast shall ever be, That the blood for me was shed, That for me He groaned and bled; Now I catch that gracious eye, Now I know I shall not die; Cross of Christ, O sacred tree, All my guilt is lost in thee!
