Chorus:At the Cross! at the Cross! Where I first saw the light,And the burden of my heart roll'd away ;It was there by faith I received my sight,And now I am happy all the day!
Verse 1:I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend His cause
Maintain the honour of his Word,
The glory of His Cross.
Verse 2:Jesus, my God! I know His name,
His name is all my trust ;
Nor will He put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.
Verse 3:Firm as His throne His promise stands,
And He can well secure
What I've committed to His hands,
Till the decisive hour.
Verse 4:Then will He own my worthless name.
Before His Father's face;
And, in the New Jerusalem,
Appoint my soul a place.
