Down at the Cross- Rev. Howard Finster
Down at the cross where I first saw the light
Down where from sin it'll be denied,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name
CHORUS: Glory to His Name,
Glory to His Name.
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
Down at the Cross (Glory to His Name)- words: Elisha A. Hoffman (1878), music: John H. Stockton (1878)
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
Refrain: Glory to His Name,
Glory to His Name:
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within,
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His Name!
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His Name!
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His Name!
