I AM COMING TO THE CROSS


                                  



I am coming to the cross;

I am poor and weak and blind;


I am counting all but dross;


I shall full salvation find.



Refrain 1-4:


I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,


Blessed Lamb of Calvary;


Humbly at Thy cross I bow,


Save me, Jesus, save me now.



Long my heart has sighed to be


Wholly purified within;


Jesus sweetly speaks to me:


“I will cleanse you from all sin.” 



Here I give my all to Thee:


Friends and time and earthly store;


Soul and body Thine to be,


Wholly Thine forevermore. 



In the promises I trust;


Now I feel the blood applied;


I am prostrate in the dust;


I with Christ am crucified. 

Jesus comes! He fills my soul!


Perfected in Him I am;


I am every whit made whole:


Glory, glory to the Lamb!


Refrain 5:


I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,


Blessed Lamb of Calvary;




Humbly at Thy cross I bow,

Jesus saves me, saves me now.

WHERE IS MY WANDERING BOY TONIGHT





Where is my wandering boy tonight—

The boy of my tenderest care,


The boy that was once my joy and light,


The child of my love and prayer?


Refrain

O where is my boy tonight?

O where is my boy tonight?

My heart o’erflows, for I love him, he knows;

O where is my boy tonight?

Once he was pure as morning dew,
As he knelt at his mother’s knee;

No face was as bright, no heart more true,

And none was so sweet as he.

Refrain

O could I see you now, my boy,

As fair as in olden time,

When prattle and smile made home a joy,
And life was a merry chime!
Refrain

Go for my wandering boy tonight;

Go search for him where you will;

But bring him to me with all his blight,

And tell him I love him still.

Refrain
