UPON THE AUFUL CROSS
Tune: I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
1,2,4 Sebastien Besnault
3,5 JRT
The ancient law departs,
And all its terrors cease;
For Jesus makes with faithful hearts
A covenant of peace.
The Light of Light divine,
True brightness undefiled,
He bears for us the shame of sin,
A holy, spotless Child.
Upon the awful cross,
Thy blood was cruelly poured,
To Thee was reckoned all the loss
To us, all the reward.
Today the Name is Thine,
At which we bend the knee;
They call Thee Jesus, Son-divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
At Thy great Name we bow,
And own Thee as the Lord;
And glorify the Father now,
Who saved us by His Word.
