His croiis was but
A common thing
Of cypross wood.
Upon a tired hill
Desolate It stood;
And vet its turns hnve reached from sea to sea.
j Arms so strong that they
:And love so bright
Changed the cross to
zSAh
My cross sometimes
Is a weary thing
Too hard to bear
A tiny ugly thing;
It floods my life
In hopeloss care;
But with His love
I. too wilt make
That cross of gold
And pour the dark
Tear-stained wood
Into His mould.
My cross can novor
Stretch its arms
From sea to aea
But it can raiso
My heart to Cod
And set mo free.
