Hold Your cross ever before me
May it drive me to my knees
I confess my sin and folly
Lay my pride at calvary
Who can face divine displeasure
Who could bear the deadly weight
This I plea the blood of Jesus
Lamb of God for sinners slain
Hold Your cross ever before me
Let it lift me to my feet
Let Your glorious wounds assure me
Here from sin I stand redeemed
You have called me Your beloved
You have named me as Your own
In each blessing in each trial
Nothing good will You withhold
Hold Your cross ever before me
As I walk the narrow way
As I lay down earthly glory
Give me strength for every day
All I have I give to Jesus
He Himself is my reward
There is blessing in His service
Poor in spirit rich in God
Hold You Cross ever before
Herald for the conquered grave
For the joy now set before me
I will run and not grow faint
I will fix my eyes on Jesus
I will trust in Christ alone
Till He lifts me up to glory
Till my Savior calls me home
I will fix my eyes on Jesus
I will trust in Christ alone
Till He lifts me up to glory
Till my Savior calls me home
