I saw the Cross of Jesus

George Müller & Frederick Whitfield (1875)

3 Verses Peace With God Blood Atonement

Verse 1

I saw the Cross of Jesus When burdened with my sin, I sought the Cross of Jesus To give me peace within; I brought my sins to Jesus, He cleansed them in His blood; And in the Cross of Jesus I found my peace with God.

Verse 2

I love the Cross of Jesus; It tells me what I am: A vile and guilty creature, Saved only through the Lamb. No righteousness, no merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the Cross I glory, My title there I read.

Verse 3

Sweet is the Cross of Jesus; There let my weary heart Still rest in peace unshaken Till with Him—ne'er to part; And then in strains of glory I'll sing His wondrous power, Where sin can never enter, And death is known no more.
