Oh, The Cross

Paul Lisney

This is an early Christian hymn. I found the words o nthe internet and set it to my own melody, not knowing the original tune.

Oh, the Cross, the SAVIOR dying,
Wounded sore, and faint, and sighing,
Bowed beneath the burden lying
On HIS spotless soul.

‘Tis thy load He falters under;
Speaks not heav’n in wrathful thunder?
Earth! behold the sight, and wonder,
Love has borne the rod.
