1  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.
