Lord, day by day I view Thy wondrous Cross

      On Calvary!

And day by day I stretch my hands thereon

      And die with Thee.

 2 

I "glory in the Cross" most loving Lord,

      Because I know

It is the power to save and satisfy,

      Where'er I go.

 3 

The daily Cross becomes the deepest joy,

      For just beyond

The Cross, I clearly see how Cross and Crown

      Do correspond.

 4 

Oh, gracious Lord, how sweet to take from Thee

      The daily Cross!

And know that I can never separate

      Its gain and loss.

 5 

The daily Cross is daily loss to all

      That keeps from Thee;

The daily Cross is daily gain of all

      Thou art for me.
