Weary and sick with sin,

Until the courts of heaven rang.

Hymn: “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” by Elizabeth Clephane

The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;

Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,

For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

On Calvary.

From guilt my soul is freed;
