TcUw  Before  the  Cross.
2  Truly  bless(;d  is  this  station,

Low  before  His  cross  to  lie,
While  I  see  divine  compassion

Floating  iii  His  languid  eye.
Here  it  is  I  find  my  Heaven,

While  upon  the  Lamb  I  gaze;
Love  I  much  ?  I've  much  forgiven ;

I'm  a  miracle  of  grace.
3  Love  and  grief  my  heart  dividing,

With  my  tears  His  feet  I'll  bathe.
Constant  still,  in  faith  abiding.
Life  deriving  from  His  death.
May  I  still  enjoy  this  feeling,

In  all  need  to  Jesus  go;
Prove  His  blood  each  day  more  healing,

And  Himself  most  deeply  know.
