Hymn 104
By the Cross of Jesus standing
1. By the Cross of Jesus standing,
Love our straitened souls expanding
Taste we now the peace and grace!
Health from yonder Tree is flowing,
Heavenly light is on it glowing,
From the blessed Sufferer’s face.
2. Here is pardon’s pledge and token
Guilt’s strong chain for ever broken,
Righteous peace securely made;
Brightens now the brow once shaded,
Freshens now the face once faded,
Peace with God now makes us glad.
3. All the love of God is yonder,
Love above all thought and wonder
Perfect love that casts out fear!
Strength, like dew, is here distilling,
Glorious life our souls is filling
Life eternal, only here!
4. Here the living water welleth;
Here the Rock, now smitten telleth
Of salvation freely given;
This the fount of love and pity,
This the pathway to the city,
This the very gate of heaven.
