Under the Shadow of the Cross

“Bound upon the accursed tree,
Faint and bleeding, who is He ?”
‘Tis Christ our Lord Who came to die,
To suffer all that agony,

To rescue those He loves so well—
His own devoted Israel.
His chosen race, full well we know
He saves our land from every foe;

All weapons fail if made ‘gainst us,
Prosper never, nor molest us.
Then never let us cease to pray
That He will guard us night and day.

Our God, our Saviour, we adore—
And we will love Him more and more;
For Thine we are, and still will be
Thine own through all Eternity.
