Beneath Thy Cross, I Lay Me Down

[guitar intro] [guitar solo] [verse] Beneath Thy cross I lay me down, And mourn to see Thy thorny crown; Love drops in blood from every vein, Love is the spring of all Thy pain. [guitar solo] [verse] Here, Jesus, I shall ever stay, And spend my longing hours away, Think on Thy bleeding wounds and pain, And contemplate Thy woes again. [guitar solo] [verse] The rage of Satan and of sin, Of foes without and fears within, Shall ne'er my conquering soul remove, Or from Thy cross, or from Thy love. [guitar solo] [verse] Secured from harm beneath Thy shade, Here death and hell shall ne'er invade; Nor Sinai, with its thundering noise, Shall e'er disturb my happier joys. [guitar solo] [verse] O unmolested, happy rest, Where inward fears are all suppressed! Here I shall love and live secure, And patiently my cross endure. [guitar solo fades to end] [end]
