God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

O Jesus, Lord, Thy dying love
Hath pierced my contrite heart;
Now take my life, and let me prove
How dear to me Thou art.
Refrain
At the cross, at the cross,
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy night and day!
Amid the night of sin and death,
Thy light hath filled my soul;
To me Thy loving voice now saith,
Thy faith hath made thee whole.
Refrain
I kiss Thy feet, I clasp Thy hand,
I touch Thy bleeding side;
O let me here forever stand,
Where Thou wast crucified.
Refrain
My Lord, my light, my strength, my all,
I count my gain but loss;
Forever let Thy love enthrall,
And keep me at the cross.
